Conductor George Bryan Dies After 58 Years With Milwaukee
Special to The Gazette. George Bryan, 85, a retired Milwaukee railroad conductor, collapsed and died Sunday night while walking home from the movies in McGregor. He retired three years ago after 58 years of service with the company and boasted a flawless safety record. He once piloted the first trains to the Black Hills during the gold boom, witnessing Indian country and preparing freight for boats to Pierre before river and ox teams carried goods to Deadwood. Winters were harsh with no snowplows, making shovel work essential for crews.
