“James Bryson, a once prominent citizen of Portsmouth, died a few days ago at Brick Union, Kentucky, opposite Haverhill, aged 71 years.”
“Mr. Bryson many years ago erected a flour mill near where the Grand Opera House now stands and afterwards operated a distillery in Kentucky as a member of the firm Brown, Bryson & Company. Later we went West but returned some years ago to spend his declining years near his old home place. Dr. Bryson, of Fullerton, Kentucky, was distantly related to him.”1
