     Word comes from the Pacific Coast that Early Bird Frank M. Bryant of 2631 Seventh Street, Morro Bay, California, suffered a severe stroke some time around the first of December. He was confined in the San Louis Obispo General Hospital in California. He is expected to be transferred to a rest home later. His Morro Bay address will reach him through the mails.

WALDO MEETS FRANK BRYANT AT NORTH BEACH, 1912
Personal Recollections of Waldo Waterman
     Another man that I had some contact with was Frank Bryant. With Roy Francis, he had a twin-tractor biplane that was sort of a Wright-hybrid but more flexible in its handling. I'd first met him at North Island in 1912 when he'd inspected my tractor biplane. He was a very unusual aviator who could seemingly get into almost any airplane, regardless of the seven or eight different control systems then used, and do a very capable job of flying. This unique ability didn't apply to most pilots, and caused many to come to grief.
