FREDERICK SNOW BRYANT was the son of William M and Mary Eliza (Emery) Bryant, born in Kennebunkport [Descriptive Roll] on 4 Apr 1831 [Kennebunk VR]. He died in Kennebunk, Maine on 6 June 1906, aged 75 yrs, 2 mos, 4 das, from heart disease [ME death rec]. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Kennebunk.
He was married first, on 14 May 1854 in Boston, MA [MA vr], to ELLEN P STEDMAN. She was born ca 1839, the daughter of Albert Stedman. She died in Boston on 22 Apr 1857 from consumption, at age 18 yrs, 8 mos. Her burial place is not yet known.

She died from lung congestion in Cambridge, MA on 13 Feb 1875 [MA death rec], aged 37 yrs, 9 mos.
Fred was married a third time, to ANNIE J HOGAN, probably in 1875 [MA vr lists the marriage date as 12 Oct 1895 in Brookline, MA, but is surely an error]. She was born in St Johns, Newfoundland circa 1855 [per census recs], and was alive in 1920 census, living with son Horace in Somerville, MA.
