Biography:
JOHN C. RYAN, one of the sons of Col. Samuel Ryan and wife, was born at Fort Howard, Wisconsin, in 1833. He learned printing at Green Bay and followed his trade at Appleton when the "Crescent" was founded. He remained here until 1859, then joined a company going to Pikes Peak, but his mining ventures were unsuccessful. While out West he was employed on the "Rocky Mountain News," but upon the discovery of gold in Montana, cast his lot with the thousands of wealth seekers and for a time engaged in mining at Bozeman and Virginia City. He was successful for a time, but through the trickery of a partner he lost his holdings. He then started to Eureka, Nevada, via Salt Lake City, and the last heard from him was at the latter place from whence he disappeared, and the supposition is that he died some years ago.
