O. H. O'Bryan, Abbeville.

Special to The Times-Democrat.

Abbeville, La., Dec. 12. - Oliver Henry O'Bryan, editor and proprietor of 
the Abbeville Herald, died at 11 o'clock Sunday night, Dec. 10, at his home 
in this town, aged forty-three years nine months and twenty days. He had 
been ill for several months with Bright's disease. He was a native of the 
parish, a son of the late Daniel O'Bryan, a noted lawyer and politician of 
ante bellum days. He was appointed tax assessor by Gov. Nicholls under his 
second administration in 1888, and served for four years. He had been in 
public life for the past twenty years, and had held the positions of deputy 
clerk of court, justice of the peace and notary public. About two years ago 
he purchased the Herald newspaper and entered upon a journalistic career, in 
which he was very successful. He is survived by a widow and five children.

Editor O'Bryan Dead.

On Sunday evening December 10th at 8 o'clock our esteemed friend and fellow 
worker in the journalistic world, Oliver Henry O'Bryan passed into that 
great beyond from whence no traveler has never yet returned.

Mr. O'Bryan though confined to his room for some time, endured patiently his 
confinement to the end. The deceased at the time of his death had only 
reached the noon of life, being only 43 years of age. His success in the 
publication of the Herald, one of the live and up-to-date publications of 
the Southwest, has won for him, the high esteem of the united press of the 
State. While at the helm of the Herald, did he ever forego the opportunity 
of advancing the common interest of this section. His paper was a power for 
good in the upbuilding of the morals of this section. His, is therefore an 
irreparable loss not only to this section, but throughout the confines of 
the State. His entire life work was spent here among his own people, wherein 
his genius first saw the light of the purple dawn.

The funeral service was held at the Catholic Church, attended by a host 
relatives and friends.

Tbe (sic) Idea (sic) joins the deep sympathy of the entire community in 
behalf of the sorrowin.
