FROM THE BIOGRAPHCAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN: ELDER FRANKLIN BRYANT Elder Bryant was born to Elzie and Ruby Bryant on December 11, 1937, in Twiggs, County Georgia. From early childhood he loved the Lord and often called out for help from God. He had a burden to join the church for many years but did not do so until he was 27 years old. In January of 1965, he joined the Cool Springs Church located one fourth mile from his home. Shortly after he joined, his pastor Elder C. E. Darity started calling on him to speak in the church. It was evident to the church that God had given him a gift and burden to preach the Gospel. In August of 1966, Brother Franklin Bryant, along with his brother, E. D. was set aside by the Cool Springs Church to be ordained to the gospel ministry. His membership has remained at Cool Springs until the present time. He haspastored Canney Creek Church near Round Oak, Reedy Springs Church near Cadwell, Beaver Creek Church near Perry, Elizabeth Church in Macon, Trinity Church near Wigham and Bethel Church in Dublin, all in the state of Georgia.
