Signature
Thomas Barbour Bryan (December 22, 1828 – January 26, 1906) was an American businessman, lawyer, and politician.
Born in Virginia, a member of the prestigious Barbour family on his mother's side, Bryan largely made a name for himself in Chicago, Illinois. Bryan was involved in many ventures in the city, such as the creation of Graceland Cemetery, and was active in the city's politics, having twice been nominated for mayor (in 1861 and 1863). Bryan was a strong unionist during the American Civil War. He was instrumental in Chicago being awarded the World's Columbian Exposition, and was involved in the 1893 exposition's organization and operation.
Bryan also played a key role in the development of the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst, Illinois, where he resided much of his life. He is often referred to as "The Father of Elmhurst".
In addition to his involvement in Chicago politics, Bryan spent a brief period as a commissioner of the District of Columbia.
