An Indianola Pioneer
Col. P. Gad Bryan died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. C. Jones, Tuesday afternoon of last week and the remains were brought here on the noon train for burial. P. Gad Bryan is remembered as one of the early settlers of Indianola, coming here in the early 50’s [1850s] and was identified with all that tended to the upbuilding of this community. He enjoyed a lucrative law practice and was unusually successful. He enlisted in the Civil War and rose to the rank of colonel. Most of his life was spent here in Indianola although during late years he made his home in Oskaloosa and something like a year ago he went to Des Moines where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. W. C. Jones. Geo. W. Seevers and wife and Eugene Bryan, of St. Paul, W. C. Jones and wife, of Des Moines, were member of the family who attended the funeral here Friday.
