History

W.C. Bryan and W.T. Stewart built a sawmill here in 1873. They then applied for a post office to be opened in the community in 1879 and requested it be named Bryan-Stewart Mill. Postal authorities decided to name it Bryans Mill instead, and Stewart became postmaster. It soon became a shipping point and gathering place for local farmers. Bryans Mill had 250 residents served by a gin, two churches, and grist and sawmills in 1884. It began to decline in population in the 19th century and ended up at 109 in 1900. The post office closed in the 1950s and the population further declined to 71 from 1990 through 2000, with no businesses in operation. [2]

On October 25, 1936, Major Charles H. Howard, winner of the 1932 Mackay Trophy, and Sgt. Edward Gibson were killed in the crash of their Martin B-10B, 34–83, just outside Bryans Mill. [3] [4]
