Bryan, James

From Lane Co Oregon

On the 5th of March, 1898, occurred the marriage of Adelbert Brooks and Miss Elizabeth Bryan, who was born in Oregon and is a daughter of James and Sarah (Ramsey) Bryan, the father crossing the plains to the Pacific in the early' 50s. He was then but three years old and his parents established the family home in Lane County. He spent his remaining days in this state and always followed farming and stock-raising until his last years, when he retired from the farm, sold his property and took up his abode in Carlton where he enjoyed a well earned rest until called to his final home in September, 1911. His widow still survives at the age of sixty-four years. In their family were nine children: Louise, residing in Dundee, Oregon; Lydia, who makes her home in Newberg, Oregon; Elizabeth, now Mrs. Brooks; Pleasant and Mary, who are also of Newberg; Minnie, living in Portland; Myron, of Carlton; Dot, of Aberdeen, Idaho; and Hugh W. of Carlton.
