RYAN
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at the residence of her son, Rev. James P.
Ryan, pastor of St. Mary's church, occurred the death of Mrs. Winifred Ryan,
aged 87 years. For the past three years Mrs. Ryan has been a constant sufferer

to be in her usual health and attended church services. At an early hour
yesterday morning she began growing weaker until the hour above named when she
breathed her last.
The deceased was born Nov. 3, 1805 in County Tipperary, Ireland. In 1831 she
was united in marriage with Phillip Ryan and in 1848 they came to the United
States, settling in Muscatine county two years later. Mrs. Ryan came to
Davenport in 1899, since which time she has made many warm friends. She leaves
four children, Rev. James P., Peter, Dennis, and Thomas, the two latter living
on farms, one near Muscatine and the other near Wilton.
Mrs. Ryan was a good woman and a devout member of the Roman Catholic church.
The funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock in St.
Mary's church, after which the remains will be taken to Muscatine, where her
husband is buried.
