Edna Omage Bryan age 31 was the daughter of my great grandparents William Harley (Harley) Bryan and Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison. As such, Aunt Edna was the sister of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan. Aunt Edna married Lon Harrison Williams age 32 on 23 Apr 1932 in Knox County, Tennessee. They lived in Ogle County, Illinois until 1949 at which point they moved back to Tennessee. It is a part of oral family history that Uncle Lon and Aunt Edna worked extremely hard farming in Illinois and thereby "made their fortune". |
All their children were born in Illinois, but the census enumerator did not list a birth place for Shirley Ann age 5 or Glenn Edward age 3. I believe that the correct spelling of Glenn's name was with two n's rather than with one. A daughter Longina was born and died in 1933. Uncle Lon was the son of Oliver L. Williams and Rebecca Jane (Dollie) Chambers. Uncle Lon was named for his grandfather Ezekial Harrison (Harrison) Williams. I wonder if Uncle Lon's father might have been named Oliver Lon Williams, but I have not been able to find out for sure. |
