- From: The Clarksville Jeffersonian, Dated 3 November 1852:
DESTRESSING CASUALTY
On Saturday last (30 Oct 1852), Mr. Tate Bryarly, one of the most respectable and wealthy citizens of this county, was thrown from his horse and killed. After the fall, he walked a short distance to a house, and took a seat in a chair, telling the lady of the house that he had been badly hurt by a fall from his horse.
From his appearance, and the singrilarity of his conduct, the lady supposed him intoxicated, and paid no attention to him. A moment to two after taking the seat he gave one long respiration and his head fell to one side. He was found dead in this position by one of his sons, who, upon the return of the house, went in search of his father, an hour or two afterwards.
Mr. Bryarly was an intelligent, worthy, and enterprising man, and a good citizen and hisdeath is a serious loss to those whose good fortune it was to enjoy his friendship
