Richmond. Va.--Wall street and the

were stopped. in so years grass would

Among the men who have thus gone

Virginia and the south have furnished
more than their shares. OF southern
men prominent in financial circles in
New York, Thomas Fortune Ryan,
born in Nelson county, Virginia, and
still a resident OF that county, is the
leader. Had the genius Of Ryan been
turned to politics, literature or the
law, instead Of money-making, he no
doubt would have obtained promi-

same qualities that have brought him

the financial world also would have

brought him success in any OF these
professions.
The announcement has recently
been made that Ryan is now making
his preparations to retire from active
business life for the purpose of de-
voting his remaining years to his ma
tive state. In this connection it Is
interesting to note that he has had
under way for several months plans
for the erection OF q million-dollar res
idence in Richmond, his idea being TO
spend his winters in this city and his
summers on his Oak Ridge estate In
Nelson county.
A million-dollar office skyscraper for
Richmond also Is in contemplation by
the financier. Plans for both these
buildings are believed to be now In
the possession of Ryan. who 10 ex
pected to come to Richmond In the
early fall for the purpose of looking
over possible sites.
Ryan always has taken a deep inter.
est In Richmond and in Virginia. Sew
eral years ago he financed the enter.
prise that resulted in the erection in
Richmond of one of the most mag
nificent Catholic cathedrals In the
south and In the country.
In this connection 1t is stated that
Ryan is as fast as possible breaking
his son, Allen A. Ryan, TO take his
place in the financial world.
Thomas Fortune Ryan was born In
1851 in a modest brick building, which
still stands at Loviegston, Va, the
county seat of Nelson county. The
building is a hotel, and is known as
the Virginia house. His father,
George Ryan, was a tailor, and at one
time piled his trade at Amherst court,

A brother, William, died several years
ago. His mother died when he was
IA years old.
Between the ages Of IA and IT.,
while he was living with the Fortunes,
Ryan worked on a farm. One year he
hired out, and the old man for whom
he worked, and to whom he gave q
year of faithful labor, still lives In the
cove, near the Fortune place, contain.

bought and is now rapidly improving.

always goes when he visits his Nelson
home.
In 1868, with his clothes and rail

letter of Introduction to some bust

his guardian, Ryan left Nelson coun-
