 Subject: James Howard Bryant obituary 

"There is an error in James Howard Bryant's obituary on the USGenWeb site.  His 
 daughter's married name was Bredhal.  The obituary says Dredhal. I don't think 
 anyone but me will ever notice the error. 

 She was a Louise Bryant who married Larry Bredhal.  Louise and Larry lived in 
 Norfolk. Both are deceased. Howard Bryant's wife Minnie Jo Bryant was the 
 sister of my grandfather Henry Clinton Bryant.  The pallbearer Clay Bryant 
 mentioned in the obituary is my father."]
