	Obituary of Alexander Hart Robertson Bryant 
	Printed in "The Horticulturist," Vol. I,
	No. ?, published April 1980, in Pilot Point, Texas
    
    		Death of Capt. Bryant
    
"We are called upon to chronicle the death of this veteran horticulturist, in
the 67th year of his age.
Capt. Bryant has devoted much of his time to practical horticulture for the 
past quarter of a century. He was one of the original thirteen who organized 
the now famous Pilot Point Horticultural Society six years ago and was elected
its first vice-president and after serving two terms was made entomologist of 
the society and has rendered valuable service in the study of insects injurious
to vegetation. 
Though modest and unassuming, his work was known to all his associates, and his
earnest zeal and efforts to advance the cause of  horticulture will be long
remembered.  Pe. . . [probably peace] to his ashes."
