Birth Date: abt 1836 Sources: Roster & Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of Rebellion Tipton Advertiser Thursday 9 Aug 1900 pg 5 col. 4 Bryson Betts, as he is familiarly called, was born in Holidaysburg, Penn., January 19th, 1835, and died at Tipton, Iowa, August 4th, 1900. A complication of heart disease and dropsy from which he had suffered for some months caused his death which at the last was sudden and unexpected. Mr. Betts was heroic in his battle for life, his death was painless and without a struggle. Bryson was one of the pioneers of Cedar county. He came to Iowa with his father, Hon. J.C. Betts in 1846. During the early years his duties were of the character demanded of pioneers. He made daily trips as mail carrier from Tipton to Davenport, when but a single house relieved the monotony of the route; like wise from Tipton to Dubuque. His duties involved the carrying of money and valuables. He never betrayed any trust reposed, no matter how much of hardship and responsibility required. As a member of Co. G 14th Iowa, Bryson was a loyal and fearless soldier. He was a member of the noted Hornet's Nest Brigade and carried colors at Donaldson and Shiloh. He was a universal favorite with all who knew him; his life was unselfish and devoid of all sham of self preferment. For many years he seldom left his home; nor has he engaged in any civil services that would make him conspicuous. He was content to render humble service for the comfort and happiness of others. His place is vacant in the home, the church and in the humble circle in which he moved. He rendered such service as few can show; His reward will be simple and unending. The GAR attended the funeral in a body and conducted the last services. Rev. Wyatt preached a touching discourse. The remains were held to rest on a beautiful knoll in the family lot in the Masonic cemetery just as the Sabbath sun dropped out of sight behind the western hills. It was a scene never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it and a fitting close to a life so sweet spirited and unselfish. A floral tribute at the hands of loving friends was a beautiful testimonial of loyal friendship.
