BIOGRAPHY:
Ahaz had a chair factory on his homestead and lived off the tourist. As people came to see the spring (Roaring River), the Bryans would prepare meals that were served on large tables family style. This was especially popular on Sunday afternoons in the summer when the tables were set under large trees in the yard.
