    Wedding photo of Harry Bryant and Mary Miles
    June 21, 1936 Johnstown, Fulton County, New York.

    Left: Harry Bryant, his wife Mary Miles,
    Maid of honor: Margaret (Art's first wife Margaret)
    Best Man on the right: Arthur Wheadon

    As for the two girls in the front, I am not sure - but I would guess that they might be Jeanne Smith (who married Fred Slaper) and/or Joan Smith. I also believe the photo was taken on High Street in Johnstown, but I haven't verified it.

    No writing on the back, however, my mother (Gretchen Smith Abeling) and my aunt, Jeanne Smith Slaper, suggested the following...

    From the left to right:
    1. Vi Stafford Hammond
    2. Hazel Bryant (later marries Austin Smith)
    3. Donald (I assume Hammond?)
    4. Harry Bryant
    5. Blance Swartz (daughter of Edith Stafford and Ed Swartz)

    Just a guess, but if Donald Hammond is in the photo, as well as Harry Bryant - then I would guess that the photo could be dated to around 1928 to 1930.

    Hazel and Harry Bryant - I've been told it was taken on Mill St Canajoharie NY, but am unsure. Estimated date is 1920.

  • Notes 
    • Cause of Death, Alzheimers
      Recieved his bible, From Joan Smith-Crabill Onfile
      Hard of hearing due to shells from war.
    • Prisoner of War in Germany during WWII. Even though he had obvious hearing damage from the war, he would not tell his wife and did not claim it on his pension.

      For the longest time after the war, he would not call his neice, Gretchen, by her name since it was German.
