was in St. John's Cemetery. A large number of relatives were present at
the last sad rites. The bereaved family and relatives have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.

this state, for some time. Forty years ago they came to Emmetsburg. Mr.
Ryan was section foreman on the Rock Island road for a few years, after
which he bought a farm in Emmetsburg township where he and his family subsequently
made their home. It wa in that neighborhood that their daughter and sons
attained their years of majority. Miss Ryan attended St. Mary's Academy

not follow this line and she continued to live at home with her parents.
