The establishment occupied the site of the present Producers Dairy Products company at the intersection of Washington and Pike street. Mr. Bryant married Miss Ida Canine of Crawfordsville in 1880. The original family home was 511 east Wabash avenue. Later Mr. and Mrs. Bryant established their home at 407 south Washington street where Mr. Bryant had lived since. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. James Cable of Sierra Madre, Cal., one sister, Mrs. Newman Essick of Los Angeles Cal., and two grandsons, George Hopkins, and Derk Cable.
