When Mr. Bryan visited this city in February of last year he called upon Mrs. Gillis, having been told that the latter claimed relationship. Afte4r introducing himself, Mr. Bryan was escorted by Mrs. Gillis into her parlor where he saw suspended on the wall, side by side pictures of his father and that of Mrs. Gillis’ mother, Mrs. Bryan Cheney. Recognizing the relationship, Bryan gave Mrs. Gillis an affectionate embrace, and the two passed an hour very pleasantly chatting about the scenes and incidents of their childhood.
Mrs. Gillis removed with her family from Clifton to East Liverpool about three years ago. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
