Tex., September 7, 1850, and is a son of Arnold O'Bryan. When about 
five years old his parents came to this county, he accompanying them, 
and it is here that his childhood was passed and his education 
received at the common schools of the neighborhood. June 9, 1870, he-
left the parental roof, having taken Harriet A. Young to wife. She was 
born in Washington County, Ark., January 21, 1853, but reared in 
Crawford County, and is the mother of five children: Renah I., Effie 
F., Wallace, Lela O., Eula B. After his marriage Mr. O'Bryan settled 
upon the place he still occupies, which contains 335 acres of land,

own personal efforts, and he is a good neighbor and citizen. In
