EUGENE BRYAN is a son of Gabriel and Susan M. (Hayden) Bryan, and was born
in Daviess County, Ky., July 29, 1855.  Both parents were born in Kentucky,
and the father died in our subject's native county, February 8, 1873.  The
mother still makes that place her residence.  Eugene was raised in his 
native county, securing the ordinary common school education; he worked
in a tobacco factory in Owensboro, from 1868 to 1873, and then worked on
a farm until 1875.  He was then employed on the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad for four years, and in 1876, removed to Mount Vernon, where,
three years later he began tending bar in that place, continuing until
November, 1884, when he began keeping his present saloon and restaurant.
He has the finest bar and restaurant in the city, and controls the leading
trade in his line of business.  March 12, 1882, he was married to Nettie
Williams, a native of Posey County.  They have one child named Eda.  Mr.
Bryan is a Democrat and Mason, and a member of the A.O.U.W.  He is 
recognized as one of the enterprising young business men of the city.
