THE
VICTOR
HERALD
March 23, 1917
OBITUARY
- RYAN
Friends
and relatives of John L. Ryan were inexpressibly shocked, Wednesday
evening, when news came to them of his death that afternoon at his home in
Canandaigua.
The circumstances of his death were particularly sad inasmuch as he was
alone in his home when the summons of the Grim Reaper came to him.
Mrs.
Ryan and a daughter left Canandaigua, Monday afternoon, to come to Victor
that Mrs. Ryan might be with her aged mother, Mrs. John Brown, who
has long been ill.
The older daughter, Edna, remained with her father.
On Wednesday morning he did not get up for breakfast but told her that he
would wait upon himself in the matter of the meal, later on.
He
had been in his usual health and did not complain of being ill.
When Mrs. Ryan returned home, Wednesday evening, she found the
house locked. She at once sought out Miss Edna, who was to spend the
night with a friend, but she had no key. Finally gaining entrance to the house,
they were horrified to find that Mr. Ryan had passed out of this life in
their absence. He lay in the bed much as they had left him in the morning.
John
L. Ryan was born and grew to manhood in the town of Victor. He was about 49
years old. One of his earliest business ventures was the management of the Old
Opera House Hotel, which he was conducting when it burned on Easter Sunday,
1898.
In
October 1898, he entered into partnership with James H. Barry and they
purchased the Victor Hotel property.
This partnership continued for three and one half years, at the
expiration of which Mr. Ryan sold his interest and soon after went into business
in Geneva.
Leaving Geneva, he moved to Rochester and from there to Canandaigua.
He
had lately been successful as a real estate and automobile salesman.
Mr. Ryan was an excellent businessman and one who commanded
the confidence of his associates.
Of quiet demeanor, he nevertheless dearly loved a good joke and many
there are who remember with appreciation a bit of his dry humor which came their
way.
Mr.
Ryan is survived by his wife, and two daughters, the Misses Edna and Stella,
three sisters, Mrs. Bernard Coniff of Rochester, and the Misses
Catherine and Anna Ryan, who live on the homestead farm, and two brothers,
William of Shortsville and Edward of Mertensia.
The funeral services will be held from St. Patrick's church in this village on Saturday, Fathers Reagan and Dacey will assist the pastor, Rev. J. J. Donnelly. Interment will be made in St. Patrick's Cemetery.
