THOMAS BRYAN was
born in Hopewell township, Beaver County, April 6, 1797.
He was the eldest of a family of nineteen children. His
early years were spent in work on the farm and in the mill, and
he taught school for twelve years. At the same time he was
looking toward the practice of medicine, which he began in 1830,
near his birthplace. For the first twenty-five years of
his practice he followed the theories of the old school, but
then changed to the New school, to which he adhered until his
death. His professional life covers a period of
forty-seven years, and was one of the eminent ability and
usefulness. A son, Dr. John Bryan, is practicing
now at Beaver Falls.
