House Doorkeeper Is Found
To Be the Monocacy Suruiuor
Col. John T. Ryan ShoiUs
He Is Last AliUe WhO
Fought There.

Col John T. Ryan, doorkeeper
in the House of Representatives, was
reading his newspaper not long ago
when he came across an item that
struck his fancy. 1t said that the late
Col. Judson Spofford. who died early
in September, was the last survivor Of
the battle on the Monocacy."
Something wrong there" said Col.
Ryan to friend, 'for I happen to be
the last survivor OF the battle on the
Monocacy." He served with Company
I, 18th Maryland Regiment.
Sure enough, all the records disclose
that Col. Ryan, who is now in his Goth
year, is the last man to survive the
ferocious fighting which took place
up in the Maryland hills some 70
years ago.
II remember it as if it were but
yesterday" Col. Ryan said today as he
sat in the living room Of his home,
759 Seventh street southeast. "Yessir,
it seems only yesterday that my old
outfit, under Gen. Lew Wallace, STAYED
off Gen. Jubal Early and his gallant
Southerners from their attack on the
city of Washington"
A merry twinkle lit the colonel's
eyes as he recalled those days when
he was gallant young buck, just
about 18 years of age and fresh from
the school yards of Baltimore. There
were three boys of fighting age in the
Ryan family-John. Bill and Joe
and two Of them went with the Con-
federate Army while John joined the
Union forces.
Strange to say. Johns presence in
the Union Army saved the life of his
brother Bill 1t happened that Bill
was taken prisoner by the Federals
and his mother went direct to Presi-
dent Lincoln, told her story and got
this answer: "The boy under Grant
will save your son under Lee"
Under Lincoln's orders they let Bill
Ryan loose.
"A good thing for Bill that I got
in the Union Army instead of with the
Confederates," Col. Ryan said, and
recalled that he and his brother
who died some years ago-had many
good times discussing that strange
quirk of fate.
Evening star., 1937-09-28

After he got out Of the Army Col
Ryan made his home in Washington
and spent 20 years out of 30-year
stretch at the Navy Yard teaching
young seaman gunners "how to do
their stuff"
At 80 years-he was born March 2,
1847-Col. Ryan has left most Of mill
tary glory behind him, but OCCASION
ally he likes to meet with couple
of the old timers who belong to Kit
Carson Post, No. 2, Department Of
the Potomac, Grand Army of the Re-
public At present he occupies the
post of senior vice commander.
On a mantlepiece in his living room,
Col. Ryan has an autographed photo
of Theodore Roosevelt, with the greet
ing ITO Comrade John T. Ryan"
Roosevelt told" Col. Ryan says,
that the battle on the Monocacy was
one Of the most important events Of
the Civil War because it frustrated
Gen. Early's attack on Washington" :"
/ Gen. Grant seems to have thought
the same way about it. In his me-
moirs Grant says: Gen. Wallace con-
tributed on this occasion, by victory
of the troops under him, greater
benefit to the cause than often falls
to the lot of a commander Of an equal
force to render by means Of vic
tory"
