Mr. Rudd practices diversified farming and from the time that he settled here, 1877, until the present, he has been one of the leading men of this section, one of the prosperous farmers and one of the substantial and patriotic citizens, having continued on his place, which he secured by the right of homestead. Bryant M. was born in Hendricks County, Indiana, twenty-five miles west from Indianapolis, on December 27, 1837, being the son of Ausbun and Elizabeth (Tisher) Rudd, natives of North Carolina. The father's father was a Spaniard and a farmer, while the mother's father was also a farmer. The brothers and sisters of Bryant A. are as follows: Sarah, Colvin, Daniel, James, Nellie, John, Louise J., Hutson, Mellissa, John and Mary A. Our subject left home at the age of sixteen and labored in various occupations until he had reached the age of twenty-three, attending also the public schools at times. At the age of twenty-three he bought a farm at Martinsville, Morgan County, Indiana and went to tilling the soil for himself. On July 7, 1860, he married Miss Sarah, daughter of Louis Meridith, and seventeen years later he was called upon to mourn the death of his wife. Mr. Rudd removed from Indiana to Wilson County Kansas, and there bought a farm and gave his attention to raising cattle, horses and hogs until 1877, when he sold his property also and came to Latah County, as mentioned above.
On March 5, 1879, in Morgan County, Indiana, Mr. Rudd contracted a second marriage, Mrs. Sarah (Dilley) Howell becoming his wife then. She is the daughter of Arthur M. and Elizabeth E. (McInturf) Dilley, natives, respectively, of Ohio and Tennessee. The father was active in the realm of politics, labored at the carpenter's trade, was a member of the Methodist Church and a leading citizen of his community. To this marriage there have been born the following named children: Charlie, died on November 5, 1879; Letha J., wife of Birt Crooks, living one and one-half miles east from Palouse, and the mother of two boys, Orville and Floyd. By her former marriage Mrs. Rudd had the following named children: Albert, Edwin and Franklin.
