Dr. Edward Everett Bryson of Pittsburg (Texas) comes of a family that identified itself with Texas as early as in 1865, when the father of the subject, Judge Samuel C. Bryson, brought his family into Lamar County and established his home at Biardstown. Judge Bryson was born in Buncombe County, North Carolina, in 1830, and his wife was born in Haywood County in 1839. She was educated in the district of her birth and there married her husband while he was preparing himself for a career in the legal profession. With the opening of the Civil war the embryo judge entered the Confederate service and was commissioned colonel of the Twenty-fifth North Carolina Infantry, passing through the long siege in the army of Northern Virginia. He received a wound in the leg in one of the many engagements in which he participated, and in later life lived over many of the events of the war while seated about the campfires of the Confederate Veterans. Judge Bryson was a man of wide general information, quick of speech and ever ready for the platform when an address was called for or a politicalcspeech in demand. He took an active part in the politics of Lamar county and was elected county judge about 1877 or '78, serving most efficiently in that office and proving the quality of his citizenship there as he did in every public act of his life. He practiced law for a few years after he retired from the bench, and then settled in Biardstown, where he passed his last years as a farmer and died in the year 1902. Among other specific items of his public service might fittingly be mentioned his election to the state legislature of North Carolina in the days previous to the Civil war.
Judge Bryson married Miss Margaret Francis, a daughter of William Francis, a carpenter and builder of Haywood county, North Carolina, and to them were born seven children, of whom mention is briefly made as follows: Edward Everett, the subject of this review; Samuel Z. of Louisville, Kentucky; Miss Lee, of Lamar county, Texas; William J. of Port Arthur, Louisiana; Thomas J., Robert and Miss Maggie, all of Biardstown, Lamar County, where their mother also resides.
