Dr. Henry Bryant is a leading physician and honored citizen of Red River
Parish, but first saw the light of day in Bibb County, Ala., on March 9,
1841, being a son of John and Nancy (Davis) Bryant, the former dying before
the subject of this sketch was born, and the mother in Jackson Parish, La.,
in 1861. When the subject of this sketch was an infant he accompanied his
mother to Holmes County, Miss., and at six years of age they went to Jackson
Parish, and there he was reared on a farm and received an academic education.
In the year of 1861 he served a few months as a soldier in the Confederate
army, being a member of the Ninth Louisiana Regiment, but on account of ill
health he was compelled to leave service, upon which he retruned home, and
for several years he tilled the soil in Jackson Parish. He was also upon two
different occasions, engaged for a short time in the grocery business, this
being in 1865-67. The following year he began studying medicine under Dr.
A. F. Polland, of Woodville, Jackson Parish, and after remaining with him
three years, he in the fall of 1869, entered the Hospital Medical College of
new Orleans, in which he attended one course of lectures. In the fall of
1870 he further fitted himself for his profession by entering the medical
department of the University of Louisiana, of the same city, from which he
graduated as an M. D. in the spring of 1871. He at once began practicing at
Woodville, Jackson Parish, where he remained three years. In 1874 he removed
to Ringgold, Bienville Parish, La., in which place and vicinity he continued
to practice until 1888, with the exception of the year 1878, when he was a
resident and practitioner of Coushatta, Red River Parish. In 1888 he
returned to this parish and located on a plantation which he had purchased
during his pervious residence here, it being situated on the east bank of the
Red River, three and one-half miles above Coushatta, and contains 1,300
acres, 300 of which are under cultivation. Since then the attention of Dr
Bryant has been divided between the practice of medicine and the management
of his plantation, thirteen cabins and one cotton-gin being erected on the
latter. The Doctor was married in December, 1875 to Miss Ella A. Hayes, a
native of Georgia, and daughter of D. H. Hayes. Their union has been blessed
in the birth of six children, all of whom are living, their names being
Theodocia, Mattie, Mary Belle, Anna Eliza, Henry Duke and Lizzie. Dr. Bryant
is a member of the Masonic lodge, and in his political views is a Democrat.
He is an excellent physician, skillful surgeon, an upright honest citizen,
and as a result has the confidence and esteem of all who know him.

Daniel M. Giddens is a worthy tiller of the soil residing three miles below
Coushatta, and his plantation, which comprise 500 acres, is well adapted to
raising all the products of the South in abundance, and everything about it
indicates that a man of thrift; 250 acres are under cultivation, and in
addition to tilling this Mr. Giddens is quite extensively engaged in stock
business, which is proving a remunerative enterprise. He was born in
Alabama, November 9, 1835, and was the third of seven children, four of whom
are living, born to Abram and Sarah (Smith) Giddens, natives of North
Carolina, the former born in 1798 and the latter about 1802. They died in
Alabama, the former passing from life in August, 1878, his wife having
departed this like in 1847. Daniel M . Giddens was reared to a farm like and
was a student in the country schools. In 1857 he went to Texas but the
following year came to Louisiana, and settled is what is now Red River
Parish. Here, June 1, 1861, he joined Company A, Twelfth Louisiana Volunteer
Infantry, Confederate States army, and was in the service until the close of
the war, being wounded at Atlanta, Ga., in 1864. After the war he retruned
to this part of the State, and since January, 1876, has resided on his
present plantation, which has been acquired through his own exertions, as
when he started in life for himself he had nothing. In the month of April,
1868, he was married to Miss Mary J. Armistead, who died in October, 1873,
of yellow fever, leaving two children: Robert and Albert. Two years later
Mr. Giddens united his fortunes with that of Miss Marietta Brown, who was
born in Louisiana, in 1850, and the following six children have blessed their
union: Daniel, Brown, Ethel, Grover, Eloise, and Mattie. Mr. Giddens is a
stanch Democrat, and socially is a member of Silent Brotherhood Lodge No.
146, of the A. F. & A. M of Coushatta.

of fourteen, began life's battle for himself by farming. In 1874 he was
united in wedlock with Katie, daughter of J. D. Cawthon, and eight children

Abraham Williams is the leading merchant and business man of East Point, and
by excellent business ability and foresight he has built up one of the
largest and most prosperous trades in the parish. Mr. Williams was born in
Poland, Russia, November 19, 1852, a son of Bernard and Burthey Williams.
The father came to America in 1852, and the subject of this sketch came with
his mother in 1862, joining the husband and father in New Orleans, where a
home had been prepared for them. While en route Abraham and his mother were
detained fourteen months at New York City on account of the existing Civil
War. His youth and early manhood were spent in New Orleans, but in 1880 he
came to Red River Parish, and in February, 1881, located at East Point, where
he has resided ever since, and where he has ever since been engaged at
mercantile pursuits. He has been very successful, and now has an
establishment witch might grace any city, for it is exceptionally large, and
his goods are well selected. His store comprises one large room, 45x25 feet,
which contain all necessary plantation supplies. He is an exceptionally
shrewd business man, but in his dealing has ever been the soul of honesty,
and consequently has the good-will and respect of all. His marriage, which
took place on September 10, 1883, was to Miss Mollie Klinger, by whom he has
three children: Dora, Sol and Sadie.
