The following comes from Rev. T.H. Ball's Encyclopedia of Genealogy and Biography of Lake County, Indiana, with a Compendium of History, 1834-1904, page 119:
SAMUEL D. BRYANT returned to the original home in Ohio and staid a few years, then came again to Lake county and bought at length, in 1854, a farm south of Southeast Grove, near what is now the Center School House, and there spent the remainder of his days, living to be more than eighty years of age.
