________________________________
Dear David:My Bryant line is at . I do nothave direct evidence of Hannah's birth (such as a birth certificate); I took her date of birth (March 17, 1879) from W.C. Johnson's genealogy. However, Ido have a 1900 U.S. census image of the William Bryant household, and Hannahis listed as the oldest child, born in January 1879 (I just now noticedthis.)If you'd like, I could send either the entire census page (287 kb) or twoclose-ups of the family (165 kb and 171 kb). One of the close-ups gives thenumber of years that Hannah had been in the U.S. (19) and also gives heroccupation as photographer. However, it is more likely that she worked as aretoucher of photographs, as in the image I do attach here of the articlethat appeared in the Streator Monitor. (At that time, 1901, it was unusualfor the newspapers to have such articles. Streator had two newspapers at thetime, and it was only by sheer luck that I found the article on microfilm.)I find it interesting to note that W.C. Johnson's parents both died inStreator. I wonder what brought them to Streator from Kansas.If you have any other interest in the Bryant family, I will be examining theLDS microfilm for the parish in which many of the Bryants and Mosses wereborn in Bristol.Very best regards,Tim Bryant (tpbryant9@yahoo.com )


An image of Hannah Bryantâ??s newspaper wedding article was attached to the email above. It is in the unnumbered documents scanned images folder. The document name is: Bryant, Hannah - Wedding article. Tim also sent me an image of the census record of Hannahâ??s family. It is in the same folder and is named: Bryant, Hannah - 1900 Census. The information below came from Timâ??s web site.
