BRYCESON The Bryceson family have been residents of Harrison county, Iowa, for many years. Edward W. Bryceson has been a life-long farmer and has been engaged in agricultural pursuits in Jackson township since 1900. Mr. Bryceson has had a very interesting career and has probably lived in as many different states as any other man in the county. Locating here permanently on his present farm he has devoted himself entirely to stock raising and general farming and with a success which speaks well for his efforts. Edward W. Bryceson was born June 25, 1852, near the city of Mobile, in the state of Alabama. His father was born in England and his mother in Scotland. They came to America and landed in New Orleans, and were married in that city. They had become acquainted before coming to America and the father came first and established a home before he sent for the girl who afterwards became his wife. From New Orleans his parents, Thomas J. and Mary (Shiner) Bryceson, moved to Alabama and located near Mobile, where they lived during the Civil War. During the war the family moved near Arcola, Illinois, where they lived for five years. While living there they adopted the Mormon religion and went west with the Mormons to Salt Lake City, Utah. They lived there only a short time, and becoming dissatisfied they returned east and located in Monona county, Iowa, where they took up a homestead claim and lived there about six years after getting their deed from the government. They then moved down into Harrison county and located in the Soldier valley, near the present town of Pisgah. The father still makes his home on this farm, the mother being deceased. Edward W. Bryceson lived with his parents until he was married. He then lived in various places until 1900, when he located permanently on the old home farm in Harrison county. He has engaged in general farming and stock raising, and the success which has attended his efforts indicates that he has applied himself with industry. Mr. Bryceson has been twice married. He was first married to May Mead, and to this union one son was born, Allen E., who is now married and lives north of his father’s farm. He has three children, James, Nellie M. and Harrison. Mr. Bryceson was later married to Josephine Seely, a daughter of Horace Seely, of Correctionville, Iowa, and to this union four children have been born, Welbur LeRoy, Myrtle V., Theodore J. and Luella May, all of whom are still living with their parents. Mr. Bryceson and his family are members of the Seventh-Day Adventist church. He and his wife are members of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. He is a Democrat, but is not a partisan, believing that in supporting the best man for office he is best conserving the interests of his community. He has never been a candidate for public office, preferring to devote all of his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. source of portrait and biographical sketch: “History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families”, 1915, biographical sketch on pages 730 - 731
