Dr. E.S.E. Bryan Dead

Father of Mrs. John Baldwin of Atlanta

Dr. E.S.E. Bryan of 33 Johnson Avenue, died at midnight Wednesday at a private 
sanitarium in Charlotte, N.C., where he was visiting his daughter, Mrs. J.A. 
Allison.  This news was received in Atlanta Thursday.  Dr. Bryan was aged 74 
years and had been a resident of Atlanta for eighteen years.  He was a 
practicing physician up to a short time ago, when his health failed.  Besides 
Mrs. Allison, he is survived by another daughter, Mrs. J.C. Baldwin, of 33 
Johnson Avenue, where he made his home, and Mrs. M.W. Price, of Kirkwood, a 
half-sister also survives him.  The interment was at Charlotte, N.C.

The life record of Dr. Bryan is that of the skilled physician who has 
consecrated his talents and has studiously acquired professional knowledge to 
the alleviation of humanity’s pains and the lengthening of humanity’s life.  
Added to his service, ever one of usefulness and generosity, is the story of an 
unflagging zeal in the cause of the South first and mankind afterwards.  
Throughout the civil war he served as surgeon in the ranks of the Confederacy, 
doing what he could to make the condition of the sick and wounded more 
tolerable.  He went to the front with the Eufaula Light Artillery.

Of late Dr. Bryan having been forced by the infirmities of age, to retire from 
the practice of his profession, had lived with Mrs. Allison here having 
previously spent a time with his other daughter in Atlanta. He was a devoted 
member of the Southern Methodist Church whose teachings and principles he 
exemplified in his daily life.  He was removed to the hospital for a difficult 
operation in the hope of prolonging his life, but this was not realized. – 
Charlotte Observer

Dr. Bryan lived in Talbotton for several years and made many friends who regret 
his death.  Their sympathies go out to the bereaved wife and daughters.  It 
will be remembered both daughters married in Talbotton.
