Leon Winfred Bryant was born to Will and Lula Bryant on October 1, 1918. He was the 7th child of 12 (8 boys and 4 girls) Will and Lula brought into this world. He was preceded in death by all his brothers and sisters and his wife Opal. He attended school in rural schools near Bell City and Everton area until the 8th grade, then started work like the rest of the Bryant kids to help support the family. And yes, he walked to school up-hill both ways, barefooted in the snow… He told us of cutting sprouts and brush with axes for $0.50 per day, cutting weeds with a hand scythe, plowing fields with a team and walk-behind single bottom plow, picking up rocks from plowed fields, cleaning barns, or any other work the neighbors needed help having done to earn money.
