Phone Directory
June 1916; Peoples Telephone and Telegraph Company, Knox County, Tennessee
She was listed in the June 1916 directory of the Peoples Telephone and Telegraph Company, Knox Co and surrounding areas. She was not living in Knox County. Rather, the phone service extended into Sevier County from Knox County. She was served by the Beech Springs Exchange in Kodak. She was listed as W H Bryan, her husband's name, but Harley had died in 1915.15
NarrativeIn 1916, Nannie purchased a 33 acre farm from P.W. Lindsey and wife Mattie. The purchase apparently was occasioned by the death of her husband Harley Bryan. She appears to have been moving the family from the Bryan farm in Sevier County back to her roots in Jefferson County to be close to her mother and her uncle. The same 33 acre farm had been owned several years previously by her parents. Her new farm was adjacent to 100 acres then owned by her uncle Frank Slaton. Her new farm was also adjacent to land then owned by her mother Susan Slaton Harrison. On modern maps, Nannie's farm may be found northeast of Green Hill Road and between Roberts Road and Goose Creek Road. Roberts Road is a short dead end road which is accessed from Green Hill Road. Goose Creek Road makes a T-intersection with Green Hill Road. Green Hill Road in turn makes a T intersection with Asheville Highway just north of Asheville Highway's intersection with Interstate 40 (exit 415). Nannie's farm is now the Quiet Oaks Subdivision and the subdivision entrance is on Goose Creek Road. Nannie's son Emmert became the financial support for the family upon his father's death. Emmert worked at least one summer and perhaps two summers on the farm of Nannie's first cousin Walk Slaton in Oklahoma, sending the money he made home to Nannie. It was probably this money that Nannie used to purchase her parents' old home place in Jefferson County.16

NarrativeNannie's purchase of her parents' old home place in Jefferson County after Harley's death suggests an answer to a mystery about the family. Namely, how did so many of Nannie's children end up marrying somebody from Jefferson County? The Bryan family had deep roots in Sevier County. Harley and Nannie raised their children in a tenant house on the property of Harley's father Will Bryan in Sevier County. But three of Nannie's four children married someone from Jefferson County with Emmert marrying Ruby Cox, Ethel marrying Elmer Cox, and Edna marrying Lon Williams. The Green Valley Road area in Jefferson County along Goose Creek where the Coxes and Harrisons lived is about 10 miles from the Bryan home place in Sevier County. So Nannie's move of the family to Jefferson County must have enabled three of her children to meet their respective spouses near to their new home.16

NarrativeIn 1922, she purchased 4 acres from the county clerk court. The land had been owned in the past by Wilsher Slaton who was the brother of her maternal grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton. The property was sold at auction by the clerk to settle a dispute among Slaton family members. The land was purchased at auction by Joseph Porter Slaton who was her first cousin. Port Slaton then assigned his bid to her. The 4 acres were on what is now Green Hill Road, and the property was very near to the 33 acre farm which she then owned and where she then resided. She later sold the 4 acres to George Jackson Cox and his wife Clarissa Loretta (Rett) Nichols. Her son Emmert had married the Cox's daughter Ruby in 1921.18

Missing from City Directory1926; Knoxville, Tennessee.

There is an oral family history that the family all moved to Knoxville together in 1925 after Emmert's wife Ruby died. However, Nannie was not listed in the city directory in 1926. Instead her son Emmert was listed in the 1926 city directory as living with his cousin Frank Bryan, and her daughter Edna was listed in the 1926 city directory as a student at the University of Tennessee. Her daughter Bill would not have been listed in the city directory yet because she was too young, nor would have Emmert's children Jack and Lena been listed in the city directory. It seems likely that Nannie and the rest of the family was still living in Jefferson County in 1925 and that they moved to Knoxville in 1926. Beginning in 1927 and for several years thereafter, Nannie, Emmert, and Edna were all listed in the city directory as living together on Morelia Avenue in Knoxville. It is common for data to appear in the city directory one year in arrears because of delays between when the data is collected and when it is published. Therefore, the dates in the city directory all make sense provided we treat them as being one year in arrears and provided Emmert and Edna moved to Knoxville in 1925 and that the rest of the family moved to Knoxville in 1926.19

The expectation is that she was living in 1936 and 1937 with her daughter Willie (Bill) Bryan and Bill's husband Frank Kyle on Copeland Avenue. It is not known if she was missed by the city directory enumerators, or if she was living back out in the country in 1936 and 1937. If she was living back out in the country, she probably would have been living with her daughter Ethel Bryan and Ethel's husband Elmer Cox.30,31,32

She died at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Ethel and Elmer Cox. At the time, the Cox residence was at the the intersection of Midway Road and Will Merritt Road. The Coxes were busy canning beans, and Nannie was visiting and helping them with the canning. As the story goes, a number of family members were there to help with the beans. Nannie suffered a stroke while working in the kitchen. She died two days later.5,2,34

Her obituary states incorrectly that she died at her own residence on Copeland Avenue in Knoxville. She lived there with her daughter Bill Kyle and Bill's husband Frank Kyle. The address of Route 1, Straw Plains listed on the death certificate is correct. She was canning beans at the home of her daughter Ethel Cox and Ethel's husband Elmer Cox in Strawberry Plains where she had a stroke and later died.34

Lydia Ethel (Ethel) Bryan

Female, born 25 Feb 1902, died 19 Jun 1994
Father*William Harley (Harley) Bryan (born 12 February 1876, died 15 December 1915)
Mother*Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison (born 14 April 1876, died 11 July 1938)

Partner: Robert Elmer (Elmer) Cox (born 14 March 1901, died 12 November 1981)

Daughter*Clara Kathleen (Kathleen) Cox+ (born 26 October 1920, died 4 March 2006)
Name SourcesLydia Ethel (Ethel) Bryan.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
Birth25 February 1902; Jefferson County, Tennessee.
The Bryan family farm was in Sevier County, but her application for a Social Security Number lists her place of birth as Dandridge, Jefferson County, Tennessee. It seems extremely unlikely that she was actually born in the city of Dandridge. It seems much more likely that she was born at the home of her maternal grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton. The Harrison farm was in Jefferson County out in the country and likely it had a Dandridge postal address with a rural route number.1,2,5,14
ParentsWilliam Harley (Harley) Bryan and Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.14
NamesShe was usually known as Ethel, and she was called Aunt Ethel by her nieces and nephews. But she was sometimes called Lyddie.15

Marriage narrative: The bondsman Claude Eugene Rimmer was Elmer's brother-in-law, being the husband of Elmer's sister Lelia Pearl Cox. Ethel was actually 6 months short of her 18th birthday when she was married. Ethel and Elmer married secretly. Their plan was to continue to live with their respective parents, and to get together secretly whenever they could. However, both families quickly figured it out. The families gave the newlyweds the equivalent of a wedding shower, gifting them with a few dishes, pots and pans, a table and chairs, and a few chickens. At that point, they road off together in Elmer's horse and wagon and set up a household together.1,16

    Marriage narrative: The bondsman Claude Eugene Rimmer was Elmer's brother-in-law, being the husband of Elmer's sister Lelia Pearl Cox. Ethel was actually 6 months short of her 18th birthday when she was married. Ethel and Elmer married secretly. Their plan was to continue to live with their respective parents, and to get together secretly whenever they could. However, both families quickly figured it out. The families gave the newlyweds the equivalent of a wedding shower, gifting them with a few dishes, pots and pans, a table and chairs, and a few chickens. At that point, they road off together in Elmer's horse and wagon and set up a household together.

    Knoxville News-Sentinel [Knoxville, Tennessee], 2 Oct 2019, page 9A.
    Ronald Eugene Kyle, age 74, died on September 11, 2019 at West Hills Extended Care, where he had resided in recent months. A native Knoxvillian, he was preceded in death by his parents, William Frank Kyle and Willie Bryan Kyle, and by his devoted wife of 46 years, Gwen Cline Kyle. He is survived by his only son, Christopher Hamilton Kyle of Louisville, KY. Mr. Kyle was a gifted musician and sang in a number of quartets in his youth. After receiving his master’s degree from the University of Tennessee, he served as band director of Holston Middle School, Carter High School, and Gibbs High School. Ron was known for his dry wit, his love of music, his gardening skills, and his passion for golf. A longtime member of Holston Hills Country Club, he will be missed by his many friends who spent days with him on the beautiful acreage there. A member of Church Street United Methodist Church, Ron’s memorial service will be held at Church Street UMC Chapel, 900 Henley Street, on Friday, Oct. 4 at 4:00 pm. A reception of friends will immediately follow in Room 204. Memorial gifts may be directed to CSUMC, c/o Youth Ministries, P. O. Box 1303, Knoxville TN 37901. Arrangements by Cremation Options, Inc.
