Individual:
Clayton C. Bryan
The passing of the son of one of Burke county’s pioneers occurred recently in Oregon.
Clayton C. (Bud) Bryan, 91, died on Wednesday, April 19 in Eugene Oregon of age-related causes.
Mr. Bryan was born on June 12, 1903 to John and Florence (Clayton) Bryan in Clayton township. His father homesteaded here around 1900 and served as chairman of the Burke County Commissioners when the county was formed in 1910. His maternal Grandfather, C. P. Clayton a Civil War veteran was the founder of Clayton township. “Bud” followed his father into farming in and around Burke County during the 20’s and early 30’s.
In 1927, he married Mildred Anderson of Bowbells in Minneapolis. In December 1936, he traveled to Eugene Oregon in a railroad boxcar with their household goods, farm machinery, 4 cows, 2 turkeys, 26 chickens and a dog. At the time of his death, Bud still possessed the oil lantern that had lit the interior of his “private” car during that long cold journey. He and Mildred settled outside the Eugene area and farmed until retirement in the early 70’s. Mildred preceded him in death in 1977.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, April 22 at Lane Memorial Gardens near Eugene, with internment following. He is survived by his sister-in-law, Dorothy Bryan (formerly Dorothy Cain of Kenmare) and several nephews and nieces and numerous great nieces and nephews. Casket bearers were nephews, Bob Bryan, Jim Bryan, Jim Linskey, all formerly of Williston, great nephew Jack Bryan, and friends, Bruce Koffler and Norm Ernest.
Mr. Bryan never forgot his great plains roots and frequently journeyed back to the Bowbells area to refresh his spirit and renew old friendships. Until the infirmities of age prevented it, he loved to visit North Dakota during the weeks of harvest, admiring the huge combines, a common sight here but a rarity in Western Oregon.
