Friday's Photo: Alice Mary Wimberly Bryan of Bienville Parish, Louisiana

Alice Mary Wimberly Bryan 1829 - 1916

This photo and obituary of Alice Mary Wimberly Bryan are from the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark. An earlier photo of Alice, from the Frye family's collection, along with her husband, James, was posted last week. 

James Bryan and Alice Mary Wimberly were married on 13 January 1846. James is the son of Reddick Bryan and his unknown first wife. Alice is the daughter of William Wimberly and Lucy Smith Lawson. 

Alice died at the home of her nephew, Augustus Reddick "Bud" Bryan. Bud was the son of her sister Sarah and Sarah's husband, Joseph B. Bryan, half-brother to Alice's husband James. 

Alice and James did not have children of their own but did adopt two children - Josephine "Josie" Sarah Catherine Bryan and John Terrell Bryan, the children of Sarah Margaret Wimberly and her husband, Joseph B. Bryan. 

James died in 1884. Both Alice and James are buried in the Wimberly Cemetery.
