Mr. William Chadrick Bryan

  Mr. William Chadrick Bryan, 30, of Billings, Mont., formerly of
Pleasant Hill, died Thursday, Dec. 24.

  Funeral services were held at 10 a.m., Friday, Jan. 1, at
Bethany Baptist Church in Marthaville, with interment following
at Springridge Cemetery in Pleasant Hill. The Rev. Vernon
Stephenson, and the Rev. Billy Burkett officiated.

  Mr. Bryan died in a vehicle accident Christmas Eve Day, on the
John Scott Quarter Horse Ranch near Billings, Mont., where he was
employed as a working cowboy.

  Mr. Bryan was a graduate of Louisiana State University in Baton
Rouge. He was previously employed for four years, and several
summers at Cross Sabers Guest Ranch, out of Cody, Wyoming, as a
wrangler, packer, and cowboy poet. He was also employed the last
four and a half years at Scott Ranch. He was unusual in that he
rejected the secular life, as much as possible, and chose instead
to simply follow his dreams.

  Survivors include his parents, William J. Bryan, and Sandra
Middleton Bryan of Pleasant Hill; two brothers, George Hamp
Bryan, and Josh Bryan, both of Shreveport; and numerous aunts,
uncles, and cousins.

  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of your
choice.

  Rose-Neath Funeral Home, Mansfield, La.
