They had four children; Southworth, 7, Scott, 5, Alex, 3, and one-year old Rebekah.

Tragedy struck the Jefferson community on January 4 when the Jefferson Mills company airplane crashed about four miles north of the city. Killed in the 9:30 p.m. crash were Southworth Bryan, vice-president and treasurer of Jefferson Mills, Bill Duke, finishing plant superintendent and company pilot Bill Johnson.
The plane, a twin-engine Beachcraft Bonanza was completely destroyed by fire. The crash occurred during drizzling rain and heavy fog in a heavily wooded area about three miles from the Jefferson airport. It would be later determined that the weather was instrumental in the crash of the aircraft.
The Jefferson businessmen were returning from a business trip to Peoria, Illinois.
