McGowan, lot 13, 7th Line, Amaranth, on Sunday, May 31st. Mr. Bryan, who was in his 64th year, had been suffering for some time from an incurable malady and his demise was by no means unexpected. The deceased was born in the township of King, his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bryan, moving to Amaranth when he was ten years of age. As a young man he evinced a keen interest in municipal politics and in 1901 was elected to the Amaranth council. After serving for two years as Councillor, he was elected Reeve, holding this office for two years. In 1905 he was one of the successful candidates for county councillor in Division No. 2, which consisted of Amaranth and the east end of East Garafraxa. After two years service in the county council he retired until 1911, when he was again elected to the Reeveship of his township. He was re-elected in 1912 and in 1913 was given his third term without opposition and was also elected Warden of the County of Dufferin when the county council met in January. Mr. Bryan's public activities were many-sided. He was a staunch Orangeman and in his time served as Master of his own lodge, L.O.L. 330, Laurel, Master of Farmington District L.O.L. and Master of Dufferin County L.O.L. He was an active member of Laurel Black Preceptory No. 365, a Past President of East Luther Agricultural Society and a Past President of Dufferin Liberal-Conservative Association. He was also a member of Laurel Court No. 571 , Canadian Order of Foresters. Mr. Bryan was an active church worker for many years. He was identified with Bell Presbyterian Church, Laurel, of which he had been an elder and Superintendent of the Sabbath School. Genial, offhand, anxious to oblige and well-informed on local and general politics, he was always a strong candidate in any election. At one time he was regarded as a probable Conservative candidate for Dufferin. Mr. Bryan was married to Miss Elizabeth Keys, who died about five years ago. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Jos. McGowan, Amaranth, two sons, Clifford and Earl, living in Toronto, one sister, Mrs. T. H. Keys, Grand Valley, and six brothers, James, William and Hugh Bryan, Amaranth, Robert Bryan, East Garafraxa and George and Richard Bryan, Hillsburg. The funeral, which was held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. McGowan, to Greenwood cemetery on Sunday afternoon, was one of the largest ever witnessed in this district. A short service was held at the home followed by public service in Laurel United church. The services were conducted by Rev. F. J. Dunlop, of Laurel, assisted by Rev. Morrison Sellar, of Grand Valley, and Rev. C. Fry, of Toronto, During the service in the church Mrs. Hunter Nelson and Mr. Lewis Hamilton gave an impressive rendering of the number "God Shall Wipe Away All Tears." The funeral was under Orange auspices and members of Laurel L.O.L and neighboring lodges were present in large numbers. At the grave the burial service of the Order was read by W. Bro. the Rev. F. J Dunlop and W. Bro. Matt. Lanktree.
