As Combined Locks village president, he was a member of the Outagamie county board of supervisors from 1925 to 1933. A former member of the county agricultural committee, he was one of five persons honored in 1931 by the Universi ty of Wisconsin for outstanding work in agriculture and home-making field s.

"When I was a Hired Man" written by Stan Kauth for the Outagamie County Historical Society (circa 1941?) He worked for Malachi Ryan. WHEN I WAS A HIRED MAN By Stan Kauth"...for many years I caddied over the hills and terrain where we had play ed as kids and worked as hired men."During vacation from high school my older brother, Bernard, and I worked f or Malachi Ryan, an outstanding farmer in Outagamie County. In fact, he w as awarded special recognition by the Wisconsin Department of Agricultu re and local- students attending the University at Madison would tell of s eeing his picture in Babcock Hall. I recall hearing that he was the fir st to introduce alfalfa in this area, as prior to that timothy was the chi ef hay crop.Malachi was an interesting Irish bachelor farmer whose parents had settl ed here as early as 1857. I'm sure they bought the hilliest land in the co unty and I recall how we had to pitch all the hay with forks while neighbo rs were using hay-loaders.We would arrive at the farm at seven o'clock in the morning after fortifyi ng ourselves with a good breakfast our mother prepared for us before our t hree-quarters of a mile walk. Malachi ran a disciplined, well-organized op eration. At mid-morning his sister, Winifred, would find us with cold lemo nade and snacks. We returned to the house for dinner at 11:30 and later en joyed a half-hour rest listening to the radio for news, weather report a nd baseball. An older sister, Ellen Cripps, was always ready with a detail ed account of the game, but Malachi had only time for the score. Then it w as back to the hills and fields again until supper time. By the time we wa lked home we were "knocked out" and slept until awakened to breakfast a nd the routine of another day.Threshing ~.as a more exciting time when the Wiedenhaupt crew (mostly fami ly) moved in and spent two or three days threshing and enjoying the bounti ful table of good food. It makes me feel nostalgic to write about it and r ecall that Malachi offered me my first bottle of cold beer to enjoy with t he rest of the crew. Malachi never indulged and was temperate in many habi ts. He never swore or used profanity, but did have a bit of Irish vernacul ar to fit the occasion.One day while we were loading manure a delegation of local merchants and p otential golfers, along with Mr. Killick. a golf pro, came to discuss t he purchase of seventy acres of the Ryan farm to landscape for a nine-ho le golf Course. It became a fact and for many years I caddied over the hil ls and terrain where we had played as kids and worked as hired men.The Depression came, the Kaukauna Golf Club failed, and Mr. Ryan got the l and back. Several ran it and I leased it for the years '39 and '40. My you nger brother, Paul, was the greens-keeper. The draft took us in early ' 41 and eventually the fairways and greens reverted to Cow pasture. Malac hi was President of Combined Locks Village for many years and I recall h ow the young boys from the village would play a game of "Heads and Tail s" with him. A bounty of fifteen cents was paid for crows but gophers brou ght only a nickel. The kids would come with the tails one day and two da ys later their brothers or cohorts would appear with the heads. Malachi wo uld look at them a little askance, but would go along with them.I can see him yet, so erect, a twinkle in his eye and a fast jaunty wal k. He was quite a guy.
