    • Daniel J. Ryan and Winnefred Powers came to the United States about 185 0. Daniel Ryan came from Castleconnell, Co. Limerick and Winnefred Powe rs came from Killaloe, Co. Clare. They were married April 6, 1856 in Chic opee, Massachusetts. They came to Buchanan, Wisconsin in the autumn of 18 57. They purchased Lot 7 of section 24, the deed of which was recorded Ap ril 7, 1858, in viol. 20D, p 79, Outagamie County records. This 80 acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees,particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured 20 to 50 fee t. He cut down these trees with an axe. He and Winnefred with a cross-c ut saw, sawed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them togeth er into piles. The farm stumps measured 5 feet in diameter. They also c ut white and red oak fence rails 15 feet in length without a knot or spli t, and as straight as a line. He began to clear his 80 acres, building a one story log hous e, 12 X 16 feet, with two half windows and one door. The timber used he h ewed himself. A few months later he purchased a team of oxen for whi ch he built a small log stable. Later he bought a cow, and gradually addi ng to his stock of farm implements as he could afford them. About 1864 he built the house that they lived in. It was the first f rame house in the township of Buchanan, and about the same time erect ed a frame barn 32 X 50, shingled with split shingles, some of which sti ll remain in a good state of preservation. The lumber for these buildin gs was ripped by a sawmill about 2 miles east of the Ryan homestead. In 1 893 he built a frame house on a piece of land adjoining the home farm, a nd there he lived during his remaining years, passing away in February 2 4, 1907. His wife, Winnefred died October 16, 1903. They are both buri ed at St. Mary's Cemetery in South Kaukauna.. Although Daniel Ryan w as a very well known and influential man in his community, he devoted a ll of his time to his farming interests and never aspired to public prefer ment. In 1875 he bought Lot 8, section 24, which had hundreds of large mapl es. These maples measured from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Annualy for yea rs he made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supply them f or the coming year. During the Spring season it was not uncommon for the pioneers to wa lk to Green Bay to purchase necessities. In the early 70's the roads, whe re possible, were laid out on the lot or section lines. Winnefred (Powers) Ryan died on October 16, 1903 in the afterno on in her home in the Town of Buchanan. She had been an invalid through r heumatism for some time. Pneumonia settled in a few days prior to her dea th. Daniel Ryan became a citizen of the United States on November 29th, 1 870. On the day of his funeral it was snowing and the road into the farm w as full of snow. The Paper Mill had the whole shift of workers come and c lear the road so that the funeral could proceed from the house to the chur ch. After they cleared the road the workers went back to their jobs. Daniel Ryan's brother, Timothy Ryan left Ireland and went to Californ ia,and later settled in Seattle, Washington. He also had a brother Micha el Ryan who went to Sonora, California. Daniel Ryan adopted Michael Ryan 's three children February 1st 1879. He also had a brother Thomas Ryan w ho was in the Chicago area at one time. He also had a sister Bridgit, w ho went to California and married a Patrick McNamara and at one time liv ed in Knights Ferry, California. [WFT54PaulRyan.FTW]]
