William Ryan Dies Suddenly Tuesday Night

William Ryan of Portland, a well-known figure of Ionia county and for many years
a deputy sheriff at Portland, expired suddenly Tuesday night while standing in
the lobby of the Hotel Devine at that place.  Mr. Ryan had been in his usual
health, apparently, having telephoned the sheriff’s office here on a matter of
business but a few moments before being stricken.  Physicians summoned
pronounced it a case of apoplexy, Mr. Ryan dying almost immediately after
falling to the floor, just opposite the night clerk’s desk.

A daughter, Miss Grace Ryan of Ypsilanti, and two sons, Clyde of Albion, and Ray
of Cleveland, survive.

William Ryan was an officer, to whom duty to the law was his watchword.  Through
change after change in the office of sheriff, here at the county seat, he
continued to serve – and serve well.  His unfailing good judgment and untiring
efforts made him a valuable official and his home community will miss his passing.

Funeral services for the aged officer will take place Friday morning from the
home of W.H. Young in Portland.  Interment will be at St. Johns.  Several
members of the sheriff’s office force are planned to attend the obsequies.
