FRANK RYAN DEAD.
Well Known Deputy Sheriff Expires
from Complication Of Diseases.

Deputy Sheriff Frank c. Ryan died
last night ut his home, 426 Madison
| avenue, after an illness of serera
weeks duration.
Mr.. Ryan was stricken with u partic.
ularly severe attack of uuinsy, from
which disease he was yearly sufferer
Pneumonia set in about a week agr
and this was further complicated by d
severe attack of stomach trouble. His
condition was very serious early las,
week, but showed improvement on Fri
day and hopes We're held out for his
ultimate recovery. FIe suffered re-
lapse yesterday and nothing that his
attending physicians, DIR. II. II. Gibbons
and DR.. u. NJ. Gates, could do could
ward off death.
Mr.. Ryan was 81 years old and was
born in Prompton, Wayne county. He
was fireman for IL number OF years
on the Jersey Central railroad during
his early manhood. About twenty years
ago he was appointed chief clerk in the
prothonotary's office under Lemuel
Amernan and was later appointed as
chief deputy sheriff by Sheriff Ran
dolph Crippcn. He failed of re-appont-
ment under Sheriff Lewis, but was
again made chief deputy by Sheriff
Robinson and held the position under
every succeeding sheriff, regardless OF
their politics.
Mr.. Ryan's death is an immeasurable
loss to his family and immediate
friends. No father was more endeared
TO his wife and children and no one
had a better friend than those who
could claim Frank Ryan as such. The
doing of favors became with him a
matter of habit. 1t seemed that he took
his greatest pleasure in good Offices to
others. He will be greatly missed from
the court house, and especially will he
be missed by the young lawyers, who
ever found in him a willing helper.
One of his chief characteristics was
his ability as a narrator of local his
tory. The politics of Lackawanna
county from its establishment We're at
his fingers ends and no man in the
county knew so much about so many
people as he. One of the most common
sights about the court house was Il
group of cronies sitting around the
sheriff's Office swapping stories Of the
interesting events of the county's early
history and doings of the older inhab-
itants.
AS chief deputy sheriff he became an
almost indispensable adjunct of the Of
flee. Every sheriff with whom he
served will attest that he never had any
cause to worry about how the business
would be conducted as long as Frank
Ryan was there His honesty, judg-
ment and thorough knowledge of the
office We're an assurance that the sher-
IFS interest would not suffer. 1t will
be years, probably, before the effect OF
his death or the direct workings of the
office will have worn away.
He is survived by q wife and the fol-
lowing children: John, Frank. Joseph,
Charles. Mary, Charlotte and Margaret.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.
