Oliver Henry O'Bryan, the fourth son of Mary Alzenith Perry , was a successful farmer near Perry, LA until he was 20, then learned to be a carpenter, then learned to be a barrel-maker for sugar manufacturers (in two years), then became a salesman. Like his father Daniel O'Bryan, he became involved in politics. For four years Henry was justice of the peace. Then he became deputy clerk of the
district court under Lastie Broussard for some years. Finally he was appointed Parish Assessor
beginning in 1889. His son John remembered farming with his father before John became a publisher. Oliver later served again as justice of the peace, the title he held when he performed his nephew Bayard's wedding in 1903. Henry and his wife Ruth Abigail Nourse had eight children, including Ruth O'Bryan. Perrin's History of Southwest Louisiana says about 1890, "Mr. O'Bryan is a young man of
prepossessing appearance, and the confidence which he has established between himself and the citizens of Vermilion parish make him their probable subject of the future honors of her people." But both he and his wife died in their 40's. He was the reporter in the K. of H. lodge and was a staunch member of the Catholic church, where his funeral was performed.
