General Notes: Husband - George P. Ryan

---

He remained on the old family homestead with his father until July, 1862, at which time he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Fiftieth Regiment, Pennsylvania Bucktails, and was engaged with his regiment in nearly all the important battles of the Army of the Potomac until the close of the Rebellion. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Gettysburg, July, 1868, and confined in Libby prison, Castle Thunder, and Belle Isle, Richmond, Virginia. After being six months a prisoner of war he was paroled and subsequently exchanged, rejoining his regiment in front of Petersburg, Virginia, in July, 1864. In July, 1865, he was honorably discharged and returned home.
Mr. Ryan held about all the offices within the gift of his township, and was elected Sheriff of Crawford County in 1875, serving one term of three years. In 1878 he was appointed and commissioned by Gov. Hartranft as Assistant Adjutant-General, serving on the staff of Brig. Gen. Huidekoper, of the Fifth Brigade of the National Guards of Pennsylvania, and was also commissioned Ordnance Officer with rank of Major, serving in the same command. He resigned in 1881 and went to Colorado as Superintendent of mines. In 1883 he was appointed County Commissioner of Garfield County, Colorado, by Gov. Grant, and during the same year was unanimously elected Mayor of Carbonate, the county seat of Garfield County.
Mr. Ryan was a noted hunter, and during his stay in the Rocky Mountains procured many fine specimens of the largest game which, as a taxidermist, he mounted at his home in Woodcock Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania.
He was a member of the orders A. Y. M. and K. of P.; in politics a Democrat.
