RISCO RYAN OBITUARY - 1896

CLARK COUNTY HERALD
9-SEPT-1896


    Just as we go to press comes the sad news of the death of Risco Ryan, of Martinsville 
Twp.   He had been suffering with fever for about ten days but was not considered 
dangerous until Sunday morning, Aug 30, when the disease changed for the worse and he 
continued to sink until death came about one o'clock PM, Tuesday, Sept 1.   Mr. Ryan 
was well known in nearly all parts of the county and in his own immediate neighborhood, 
where he was know best was held in high esteem.   He was a faithful member of the U.B. 
Church and an earnest laborer in all good works.   He was 46 years of age and was born 
and reared on the old homestead where he died.   He leaves a wife, one child and 
numerous other relatives to mourn his loss.   The funeral was held in the M.E. Church in 
Martinsville Thursday morning, Rev Broadstone officiating.   The remains were laid to 
rest in the Martinsville Cemetery.   A large concourse of friends paid the last tribute of 
respect by attendance upon the funeral.
