MRS. ELLEN D. RYAN DIES IN 80TH
YEAR After two weeks' illness Mrs. Ellen Dougherty Ryan died yesterday at her home at 312 Penn Street. Funeral services will be held at 2.30 p. m., Friday at the home. Burial will be in Harleigh Cemetery. Mrs. Ryan was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage on May 28. She was seriously ill for several days but hope was held for her recovery when she rallied and showed improvement. There was a sudden change for the worse early yesterday and she died at 8.05 a. m., with members of her family at her bedside. Mrs. Ryan was in her 80th year. She was born February 10, 1854. For more than 52 years she had resided in North Camden and had seen that section of the city develop from a purely residential section to one of industrial activity. Nor had she ever lost interest in that transformation of her adopted city, for it was here she came shortly after marrying James J. Ryan, a young Moorestown, man who had his blacksmith shop on Delaware avenue opposite the old hay sheds, one of the landmarks of Camden where the farmers used to come with their teams and hay and likely stop to talk over crops and things at the Ridgway Hotel. Mr. Ryan died 20 years ago. Mrs. Ryan was the daughter of the late John Dougherty and Esther Porter Dougherty. While a young girl she lived in Brooklyn, with her parents who later moved to Moorestown and Colestown. It was while Ellen was a young woman there that she met young Ryan and they were wedded. In all the intervening years, Mrs. Ryan had resided here, had reared her family of seven children all of whom are living. She was among the older residents of North Camden. The children are Edward, Frank H., managing editor of the CourierPost newspapers; Thomas R., sports editor of these newspapers, and George R., Mrs. Mary Shivers, Miss Anna W. and Miss Esther Porter Ryan. There also are four grand children, Edward Ryan, Jr., Howard F. Shivers, Hilda E. Shivers and George A. Shivers. There also are two surviving sisters, Mrs. Sue Davis, of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Jane Somers, of Philadelphia. SERVICES ON FRIDAY FOR MRS. ELLEN D. RYAN |
