Byran P. Mattison, son of Luman and Mary Hall Mattison, was born in Alfred Center, N. Y., April 10, 1858, and passed away at the Rutledge Home, Chippewa Falls, Wis., October 5, 1950.
When five years old he came with his parents to West Hallock, Ill. At the age of twenty-one, he, with his mother and three sisters, moved by wagon to Lincoln, Neb., and three years later to North Loup.
In the early years of 1900 he moved from Welton, Iowa, to New Auburn, Wis. Here he married Mrs. Bertha Berry. They sold their farm in 1927 and moved to the Rutledge Home, where they spent many happy years together until she passed away in 1948.
Mr. Mattison was a faithful member of the New Auburn Seventh Day Baptist Church, and had a strong faith in Christianity. Up to the last he retained a keen mind, and interest in political and world affairs.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary Loofboro, Milton Junction, Wis., and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends. C. L. L.
