Atchison County Obituaries
Dr. J. V. Bryning, veteran physician, died at his home, 314 South Seventh
street,
at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. He died of paralysis, after a long illness.
Twenty months ago, following feeble health, Dr. Bryning was stricken with
paralysis,
and from that time on had never ventured outside the yard. He grew
gradually weaker
until the end came yesterday, in his seventy-eighth year.
Dr. Bryning was born in Mount Pleasant, Ontario, in the year 1835. He first
studied
for the ministry in Toronto, Canada, but he was hindered by throat trouble,
and studied in
the same city for four years in a medical school. He came directly from
Canada to Atchison
in 1863, arriving here upon the day of the famous Quantrell raid in
Lawrence. He began
immediately to practice his profession, and through his many kindnesses
and his earnest
desire to do good for the community he was known, respected, and loved
by all.
In 1864 Dr. Bryning was married to Miss Nellie Grimes, a daughter of Dr. W.
H. Grimes,
a noted personage in the early days of Atchison. Mrs. Bryning, a most
devoted wife and mother,
survives the doctor. Two sons also survive him. They are William H.
Bryning, general agent of
the St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad, with headquarters in St. Louis, and
Howard B. Bryning,
transportation agent of the Northern Pacific, with headquarters in St.
Louis. Both visited their
father at frequent intervals during his long illness, and are now here. One
of the landmarks of
Atchison is the Bryning home at Seventh and Park streets, built by Dr.
Bryning just after his
marriage, and which the family has occupied ever since.
Dr. Bryning was city physician for a number of years just after the Civil
war.
While holding this position a smallpox plague struck Atchison and he had
four hundred cases
of smallpox to attend at one time. Between the years 1876 and 1887 Dr.
Bryning owned and
conducted a linseed oil factory, which was situated near Seaton's foundry,
at Third and Park
streets. This factory was finally sold to the trust. From that time on the
doctor devoted his entire
time to his profession. He was a member of the Masonic lodge.
The funeral will be from the Bryning home at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The pall bearers will be Henry Merwick, Arthur Kinney, Frank Woodford,
Arthur Mise
and Dave Baker. The interment in Mt. Vernon will be private, and the
services conducted
by the Rev. Otis E. Gray, of the Episcopal church.

| ATCHISONıS OLDEST PHYSICIAN IS DEAD.....Since 1863 Dr. G.[sic] V. Bryning Has Lived in
This City |
In the death of Dr. J. V. Bryning, which occurred Sunday morning at 9:20
oıclock,
Atchison loses one of its most highly respected citizens and one of its
oldest physicians,
the deceased having come to Atchison in 1863. Death was due to a stroke
of paralysis,
which Dr. Brynig suffered twenty months ago and which had rendered him
entirely
helpless since that time. His devoted wife hasbeen his nurse during the
long months
of his illness and never had left him even for a day, during that time.
Beside his widow,
Dr. Bryning leaves two sons, W. H. Bryning of St. Louis and Howard
Bryning of Kansas
City. Both the sons were with their father when the end came, Will Bryning
arriving
thirty minutes before he passed away.
Dr. Bryning was born in Mount Pleasant, Ontario, February 24, 1835. After
finishing high
school and college, he studied to become minister. A throat affection
made this impossible,
and he turned his attention to medicine and graduated from the Toronto
college sevral years
before coming to Atchison. Soon after arriving in town, he formed a
partnership with the late
Dr. W. H. Grimes, who at that time was the leading physician of the town.
In 1864 Dr. Bryning
married Miss Nellie Grimes, the daughter of his partner. In all the early
happenings of the town,
Dr. Bryning was closely associated. He was a man of kindly dispositon,
and a man whose
loyalty to his home town was shown in countless ways. He gave up active
practice four years ago.
The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9:30 oıclock from the
Bryning home, 314 South
Seventh street. The interment will be in Mt. Vernon and will be private.

| Brantford Weekly Expositor...Brantford, Ontario...25 Jul 1912 |
Dr. Bryning Dies in Kansas
|
| Former Well-Known Mt. Pleasant Man Passes to His Rest |
The Expositor has received word of the death of Dr. J. V. Bryning, son of
the late Rev.
John Bryning of Mt. Pleasant, at Atchison, Kan., from paralysis, following
an illness
of many monthsı duration.
Dr. Bryning was born at Mount Pleasant in 1835, studied for the ministry,
and finally
on the advice of Dr. Rolph, an old friend of the family, entered the medical
schools in
Toronto and eventually left for his uncleıs home in Atchison, Kan., in 1863,
where in 1864 he
married Miss Nellie Grimes, the daughter of a prominent Atchison
physician of those days.
Dr. Bryning was city physician for Atchison immediately following the civil
war, and on
one occasion during the Atchison smallpox epidemic of a few years later
attended to 400
patients at one time. Dr. Bryning was a manufacturer in the Kansas city
for some years, an
d was also a Free Mason.
The deceased was survived by his wife and two sons, William H., general
agent of the
St. Joseph and Grand Island Railway at St. Louis, Mo., and Howard H.,
transportation
agent of the Northern Pacific, also at St. Louis.
The late Dr. Bryningıs father, Rev. John Bryning of Mount Pleasant, was
the first
Presbyterian minister in this vicinity, and was engaged in teaching school
before
entering the ministry. The late John Randall Ellis, who died a few years
ago at the
advanced age of 94 years, was a pupil of Dr. Bryningıs father. The Rev.
John Bryning
was a man of fine attainments and culture, and born and educated in
England, had
travelled much through the continent. One of the memorable occasions of
his travels
was the night of June 18, 1815, the hour of the decisive battle of Waterloo,
when he
was in Brussels, but a few miles distant from the scene of carnage and
glory. When he arrived in that city all was gay and festive, and on the very
eve
of the momentous battle General Wellesley called his officers from the
crowded
ball room of the fashionable quarter of the city to the plains on which the
battle was
fought a few hours later. When he arrived in Mount Pleasant there was no
Brantford--only bush.
The Expositor is indebted to the courtesy of Major Heath of 332 Dalhousie
street for the news of Dr. Bryningıs death.

| Atchison, KS...Sun, 6 May 1923...Mrs. J. V. Bryning Dies in St. Louis |
| Was Atchison Pioneer and Her Body Will Be Brought Here for Burial |
Mrs. J. V. Bryning, for many years a resident of Atchison, and a member of one of the
best-known of Atchisonıs pioneer families, passed away Friday evening at the home
of her son, Will Bryning, prominent railroad official in St. Louis, Mo.
Mrs. Bryning, who came to Atchison before the Civil war as a young girl, died in her
eighty-sixth year. She lived here continuously from 1858, until shortly after the death
of her husband, Dr. J. V. Bryning, in 1912.
Mrs. Bryning was the daughter of Dr. W. H. Grimes, prominent early day physician
of Atchison. Her maiden name was Ellen Grimes. She came here with her parents from
Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1858. Dr. Grimes was surgeon with the Thirteenth Kansas
volunteers during the Civil war, and after the close of that conflict practiced medicine
in Atchison until his death in 1877. One of Mrs. Bryningıs brothers was Major E. B.

the young couple moved into it. They lived there continuously until his death on July 14,
1912, more than 48 years.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Bryning were kindly, hospitable people, and they were loved and
admired by every one who knew them. They numbered among their close friends
many of the citizens who had a prominent part in shaping Atchisonıs early history.
Dr. Bryning was for several years city physician of Atchison, and at one time, during
a smallpox epidemic, he had many cases of the malady under his care. He was a
physician of the old school, and both he and Mrs. Bryning were among the best
citizens of the early-day Atchison.
Mrs. Bryning was born in Xenia, Ohio, in 1837.
Two children were born to Dr. and Mrs. J. V. Bryning. One of them, Howard Bryning,
passed away in Kansas City about five years ago. The other is Will Bryning, of St.
Louis, at whose home Mrs. Bryning died Friday night. There is one grandson, who
lives in Kansas City.
The body of Mrs. Bryning will arrive in Atchison from St. Louis at ten oıclock this morning,
and will be taken direct to the Sawin & Douglass undertaking parlors.
