He was the senior member of the Arthur Bryant & Sons, nurserymen, also served as treasurer of the State Horticultural Society. He married Miss Elizabeth Hughes in 1864. In 1872 he acquired 160 acres of land, most of which is growing nursery stock. He had multiple plots of land for growing trees, shrubs, fruits, etc. He introduced the Salome apple to the markets.
Born October 15, 1834, in a log cabin on the old homestead, two I miles south of Princeton, the life of Arthur Bryant has been contemporaneous and interwoven with the history and the development of Bureau county, and indeed with this section of the state. He grew up amid the trials and toils of frontier life and saw this country developed from a vast stretch of prairie with here and there a cabin nestling on the edge of the groves of timber, to its present populous and thriving condition. He acquired his early education in the public schools, and continued his study under the direction of Rev. A. B. Church and James Smith of Princeton. He remained at home until his marriage in 1864 to Miss Elizabeth Hughes. The early years of his married life were spent on the old home place. He purchased the piece of ground where the nursery is now located in 1868, and moved to this place with his family in 1875, where he has since resided. His death occurred very suddenly at his home about 1 o'clock Monday afternoon, May 13, 1907. He leaves to mourn his loss his loving wife, four sons and three daughters.
