FIRST WOMAN GTIzEE,.,1
Her Sturdy Lads and Clever Lasses Become
Prominent Citizens What Some Of
them Accomplished.
From the Ne,vs, Indianapolis, Ind.

Hundreds Of thousands Of men of foreign
birth have taken out papers declaring their
citizenship in Indiana since that State was
admitted into the Union in 1916 without
creating remark or comment. 1t was diff.
ferent matter, however, when R1ong in the
forties the first woman of foreign birth ap-
piled for and received papers of citizenship.
This first woman citizen" was an Irish
widow who settled in southern Indiana with
her progeny of sturdy lads and clever lasses
upon farm which she had bought.
in Davies County, Indiana, was great
woman with a clever business head and left
behind her those who grew to be worthy
men and worthy women, and who have left
their impress upon the State.
One of these sons james B. Ryan became
treasurer of the State of Indiana, and a son.
iR-law, N. L. Brett, also held that high and
honorable position. Another son was the
late Lieut.. Col. Richard ]. Ryan who was,
that Indiana ever produced, and who during
the war for the Union served his country in
the Thirty fifth Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
better known as "the Irish Regiment"
Another son is Thomas F. Ryan who is
now 80 years old, and with few intervals of
absence has been resident of Indianapolis
for forty-two years.
In the early fifties smitten by the gold
fever he went by way of the Isthmus Of
Panama to California. He has been all over
the far west engaged in mining and trade
From May, 1885 until August, 1887 he was
the government agent at the Seal Islands of
the Alaska coast, a highly responsible posi-.
ton.
