W. RYAN was born October 16, 1828, in London, England. At the age of twelve he
started out for himself, and followed a sailor's life ten years, when he landed
in San Francisco, in November, 1850, and went to mining at Harrisonville, Yuba
county. He mined at Pine Grove in 1852, at Poker flat in 1853, and at Eureka,
Sierra county, from 1854 to 1866; since which time he has been engaged
principally in clerking. In 1870 he moved to Downieville, and was appointed
postmaster in 1874, having held the position ever since. Mr. Ryan was deputy
recorder from 1866 to 1870, and deputy county clerk from 1872 to the present
time. He was married in August, 1868, to Miss E. A. L. Rich, by whom he has five
