                            Death of an Old Citizen

Captain James C. Ryan, an aged and venerable citizen, died at his residence, on 
Bermuda Street, yesterday, in the house in which he was born on November 23, 
1808. Captain Ryan, up to the last twenty-five years of his life, followed the 
sea and had crossed the ocean many times. During the Mexican war he was engaged 
in transporting troops from New Orleans to Mexico, out of which port he sailed 
for many years. It may be truly said of him that  he was a remarkable man, 
possessed of a retentive memory and fine conversational powers. In truth to say 
excelled by few. His health for the last two years has been failing and for the 
last ten or twelve months he has been constantly confined to his bed. He leaves 
a widow and many relatives, who have the sympathy of the community. His funeral 
will take place from St. Mary's Church tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
                              ************
RYAN – On the 12th instant at 7 p.m., at his residence, 38 Bermuda street, 
Captain JAMES C. RYAN, in the 81st year of his age.
Funeral will take place from Saint Mary’s Catholic Church FRIDAY at 9 a.m.
