David Herbert Bryan was born in East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio on November 17, 1870. His parents were Alexander Young Bryan (1837-1909, a Civil War veteran) and Fannie Susan Allison (1836-1919). He grew up with eight siblings. In the late 1890s, David was working as a salesman for a porcelain company. Historically the town of East Liverpool was known as the "Pottery Capital of the World" due to the large number of potteries in the city.
On August 16, 1900, David married Mary Cora Burley (or Burleigh, 1871-1960) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They raised five children. By this time, David was with the Shenango China Company of New Castle, PA. He was a saleman for the well-known 'Castleton China', easily identified using the backstamp (corporate identification placed on the back or underneath part of the ceramic dish) featuring Native Americans involved in various forms of pottery production. He even built his own boat and traveled up and down the Ohio River as he visited his clients.
By 1920, David was wealthy enough to retire early and decided to move his family to Los Angeles, California. He first settled in Ontario, in San Bernadino County. He also considered buying property in Long Beach/Signal Hill and Beverly Hills but for some reason he settled in East L.A.
David died on February 25, 1937 in East Los Angeles. He is buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier.
