Eagle Valley Enterprise - November 20, 1931
DOCTOR E. H. BRYSON. Eli Howard BRYSON was born in Pennsylvania, October 5, 1871. He prepared for the practice of medicine and was graduated from the University Medical College of Kansas City with the degree of Doctor of medicine in 1898. He was licensed to practice medicine in Missouri, and later, in Nebraska and Colorado.
While still in medical college, Dr. BRYSON married, and later he moved to the state of Colorado because of the ill health of Mrs. BRYSON. They settled in Grand Junction in 1913, and although Mrs. BRYSON lived until 1920, she did not recover her health.
After the death of his wife, Doctor BRYSON went to Aspen where also he practiced medicine. It was here that he met and married Mrs. Carrie E. SLATER. This union, however, was destined to endure but briefly. It was terminated in 1924 by the death of Mrs. BRYSON.
In May, 1928, Dr. BRYSON came to Eagle and opened an office in the Montgomery hotel. Here he has continued, serving faithfully until his life was surrendered on Monday morning, November 16.
Doctor BRYSON leaves a daughter who resides in California, a sister who lives at Wellville, Kan., and five step-children who live in various localities from California to Pittsburg.
Dr. BRYSON's death marks the passing of another of that fine race of family and country doctors who once were an American institution, and whose sympathetic, tender and skillful care have wrestled with death in many a home, and won.
Funeral services were held at the Eagle Community church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of Mortician O. W. MEYER. A splendid funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. C. R. STOCKINGER. The body was then taken to Grand Junction for burial. A stepson, Frank H. SLATER of Snowmass was the only relative able to be present to perform the last filial duty. His daughter arrived on a belated train a few minutes after the funeral services were concluded. Music was rendered at the funeral service in the church by a male quartet composed of Messrs. H. D. HUDSON, J. D. ALLEN, Bert WOLVERTON and H. K. BROOKS, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Alvin RULE.
