The Cairo Messenger, March 5, 1920
Aged Grady Citizen Passed Away Monday

Mr. John Quincy Bryan, one of Cairo and Grady county's highly respected 
citizens, died at his home here last Monday night about 10:30 o'clock.

He had been afflicted for several years with heart trouble, for the last few 
months was confined to his home.

Mr. Bryan was born December the 7th, 1842 in North Carolina.  In his youth he 
left there and came to what was then Thomas county, Georgia, now Grady and 
spent the remainder of his life in this county.  After coming here he was 
married to Miss Donie Walker.  For 42 years he was a member of the Methodist 
church.  He died in his 78th year.

At one time, Mr. Bryan was a commissioner of Thomas county.  He was a charter 
member of the Cairo Masonic lodge.  His long life was well spent.  When he was 
physically able, he was always found in his place at the church.  Although his 
life was not ostentatious, he believed and followed the teachings of the Master 
in his silent way.  His children and grandchildren have a rich heritage, they 
may rise up and call him blessed.

The funeral services were held at Bold Springs Tuesday afternoon about five 
o'clock.  Rev. T. E. Davenport was in charge of the service.  The Masonic lodge 
had charge of the burial service.

He leaves a widow, three sons: Capt. L. A. Bryan of Washington, D. C., A. G. 
Bryan of this county, and C. L. Bryan of Beaumont, Texas; three daughters, Mrs. 
H. A. Maxwell of this city, Mrs. K. M. Miller of Nashville, Ga., and Mrs. J. F. 
Montgomery of Cairo besides a number of grand children, relatives and friends.
