John Clingman Bryson, 86, of Darrington, WA died November 25, 2007.

J.C. Bryson, 86, on Sunday November 25, 2007 the Lord took him home to join Minnie, his wife of 60 years in Darrington, WA. He was born December 7, 1920 to Frank H. and Lelia (Wilson) Bryson in the log cabin his father had built on the family farm in the Bennettville area north of Darrington.
J.C. married Minnie Cook in 1941, they began their married life in Darrington and he remained there the rest of his life except for a few years in Lyman, Lake Quinault and Forks, WA.

J.C. and his brother, Frank, formed Bryson Bros. Logging Co. in 1951. He was a logger and a farmer all of his life. He enjoyed taking his horses out on trail rides in the mountains, hunting especially elk hunting in the Tieton River area and in Idaho, fishing and camping trips with family and friends.

The family would like to thank Howard Bryson for being such a special and attentive friend to J.C.

He was a loving and hard working father and will be greatly missed by all of his family and long time friends.
