The Ryans came to Klickitat county in 1863, taking up a home out on Spring Creek. Mr. Ryan was well-versed in the history of Klickitat, and his reminiscences were highly interesting. In later years, they resided in this city, Mrs. Ryan conducting a restaurant for a number of years.
Some time after the death of Mr. Ryan, she moved to Portland, where she has since resided.
The funeral services were held at the Goldendale Catholic church on Wednesday, March 20th, the interment being at the Catholic cemetery, near this city.
The children desire to express their sincere thanks to the many friends for their kindness, sympathy, and the beautiful floral offerings.
