EX-SHERIFF AT SAN ANGELO, J. F. (BUCK) BRYSON, DIES
SAN ANGELO, Texas, Feb. 10 -- Funeral services for J. F. (Buck) Bryson, 65, sheriff here from 1945 to 1955, and a past president of the Texas Sheriff's Association, will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday in the First Presbyterian Church, U. S.

Bryson died early today in a local hospital from injuries received when he was hit by a car here last July 3. He had been unconscious since the mishap.
Born in Waxahatchie, he farmed near Ovilla until 1921, when he and his wife, the former Meda Rockett, came to San Angelo. A member of the Waxahachie Fire Department for six years, he became associated with the San Angelo Fire Department shortly after his arrival.
In 1928, he became a member of the San Angelo Police Department, and served until 1937, when he became a deputy sheriff.
