Obituary published in The Franklin Press, Macon County, North Carolina, dated May 14, 1970:
Rev. Joe Bryson
The Rev. Joe Bryson, formerly of Macon County, died unexpectedly on Saturday, May 2, at his home in Columbia, Mo. Masonic rites were conducted Monday night, May 4, in the chapel of Memorial Funeral Home and funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in Calvary Baptist Church. Officiating ministers were the Rev. Roger Barnard, pastor, Dr. Earl Harding, of Jefferson City, Mo., and Mr. Bryson's son, The Rev. Dan Bryson of Joplin, Mo.. Military graveside rites were conducted by Hebert Williams American Legion Post # 202 and burial was in Memorial Park Cemetery.
Rev. Bryson was the son of the late John K. and Margaret Higdon Bryson, of Macon County, and lived here until the mid-twenties, serving for varying periods of time as pastor of the Ellijay, Sugar Fork, and Highlands Baptist Churches. Since that time he has lived in Missouri.
He was married first to the former Miss Doris Dean, who died in 1955, and later to Mrs. Mabel Heying, of Sweet Springs, Mo., who survives. Surviving in addition to the widow, are two daughters, Mrs. Ray Anderson, of St Louis, Mo., and Mrs. Roger Dudley, of Independence, Mo.; three sons, Joe V. Bryson, of Columbia, Mo., James H. Bryson, of St. Louis, and Rev. Dan Bryson, of Joplin; 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild; a twin sister, Mrs. Ida Moore, of Franklin; two step-children, E.L. Heying, of Gales Ferry, Conn., and K.D. Heying, of Kansas City, Mo.; and four step-grandchildren.
Correction
The Rev. Joe Bryson, whose death was reported in last week's PRESS, was the son of the late James K. Moore, rather than the John K. as was erroneously stated. He was 85 years old and is survived by a twin sister, Mrs. John M. Moore of Franklin.
