Details: Mr. Richard Bryant, whose business associations in Newcastle have extended over a period of 57 years, died in the Newcastle Hospital yesterday afternoon, Since his retirement about two years ago Mr. Bryant had suffered ill health, and his death, after an operation, was not unexpected. Mr. Bryant commenced business as a saddler in a shop near the School of Arts. When more suitable premises near Messrs. W. Winn and Company were offered he removed his business. As the saddlery trade was brisk, he extended his business, and later purchased a block of land adjoining the Bank of Australasia, in Hunter-street, and erected a building with which for many years he carried on business as R. Bryant and Sons. He was the oldest member of the trade in the State. As a cricketer Mr. Bryant achieved success, particularly as a wicket- keeper. He possessed acumen, and that led him with a number of others to purchase a pipe organ for the early Methodist Church, on the Hill. He was born in Maitland in 1847. Mr. Bryant leaves three sons and a daughter. The interment will be made in the Sandgate Cemetery today, and will move from the Central Methodist Mission.
