William
Jennings Bryan, or "Billy" as his friends knew him, was
born at 408 South Broadway in 1860. William Jennings Bryan was the son of
Judge Silas M. and Maria E. (Jennings) Bryan. Silas was a teacher, lawyer,
school superintendent, state senator and circuit court judge. As a devout Presbyterian, he would pray to God for assistance before he made a decision. This building is on the National Register of Historical Places.
