She had been in ill health the past few years.
"She was a member of one of the leading pioneer families of this
section of of Kentucky and was the last surviving member of her
immediately [sic] family. Her husband was a kinsman of WIlliam Jennings
Bryan, the "Great Commoner."

"A daughter of the late Mr. James Russell Barrick and Mrs. Lou Ann

life in Glasgow. She married Mr. Bryan on February 4, 1876. Mrs. Bryan
was a devout member of the Glasgow Baptist Church, and was one of the
most consecrated and most saintly women this community ever knew. All
her life she was active in church work and gave of her time to this
work.
"Mrs. Bryan had seen Glasgow grown from a mere village to a
thriving little city. In her more active years she devoted the bigest
portion of her time to her church, home and civic entertainment.
"Gentle, kind and affectionate, Mrs. Bryan went through the years
doing good, helping others and retaining faith in the Lord. It can be
truly said that when she departed a saintly woman and godly character
had gone to her reward."
