In Memoriam
Susan J. Ryan
Rev. William Stewart of the M.E. Church will deliver a discourse upon the life of the late Mrs. Morgan Ryan on Sunday, September 16, 1883.
Susan J. Patton was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee, Nov. 8 1821 and on the 29th of August, 1837, hardly before she had passed the threshold of girlhood, in her 16th year, she was wedded to Morgan Ryan, who survives her with a color of the stalwart physical hardihood of which he is a born representative.
On July 27, 1883, at her home in this city, after a long and devoted life to charity and Christianity, home comforts and family trainings, she passed into the spirit land. She was blessed with fourteen children, eight of whom survive her. Forty two grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren live to morn the decease of their beloved relative.
She was a woman endowed with the most pronounced and sterling traits of moral and Christian worth. In the convocations of the Christian Church, of which she had for twenty years been a member, she was a stay in support of the word of God and religious organization.
Her life is one well worth the highest tribute that the most eloquent could pay to the deceased, and that in his review of it on Sunday, Sept. 16th Rev. William Stewart will crown her good name with a finale of words of truth fit to be delivered over the tomb of as good a woman a ever lived we doubt not.74

Yes several of the family remembers it being at Clintonville and then when I received her death Ceft. it stated that her burial is there.
Now I don't know if I got it on the exact grave or not, there are about 8 graves there that are Ryan's, but only 4 Ryan stones.
Mom had remembered them to be not in normal order. The one's that are there is in this order, Wiley, Morgan is next to him then there is a space then Susan then Mahala's then long open space then Gladys Ryan (a child of I can't remember who right now.) So Morgan & Susan is in the middle of Wiley and Mahala. Mom did not believe that the space between Morgan & Susan was Mahala so I
did not put it there. There was a child that died the same year that Susan died from Dysentery epidemic, a Sallie Elizabeth Ryan but I don't know who she belongs too but sure she was family.

SUSAN died 21 July 1883 in El Dorado Springs, MO, at 61 years of age. Her body was interred in Clintonville, Cedar Co, MO, Clintonville Cemetery. Susan was the daughter of John M. Patton (1793-1862) and his wife, Grizelle Moyers (1794-1830).

The following is an article in the El Dorado Springs News of a memorial that was to be given on September 16, 1883 by Rev. William Steward of the Methodist Episcopal Church:
Susan J. Patton was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee, November 8, 1821, and on the 29th of August, 1837, hardly before she had passed the threshold of girlhood -- in her 16th year -- she was wedded to Morgan Ryan, who survives her with a color of that stalwart physical hardihood of which he is a born representative.
On July 21st, 1883, at her home in this city, after a long and devoted life of charity and Christianity, home comforts and family training, she passed into the spirit land. She was blest with fourteen children, eight of whom survive her. Forty-two grand-children and fourteen great grandchildren live to mourn the decease of their beloved relative.
She was a woman endowed with the most pronounced and sterling traits of moral and Christian worth. In the convocations of the Christian Church, of which she had for twenty years been a member, she was a stay in support of the work of God and the religious organization.

He married CAROLYN G WEST in Cedar Co, MO, 22 August 1892. (CAROLYN G WEST is #17055.) Morgan participated in the Seminole War. He filed an application for a Bounty Land Grant based upon his War service. His application file is #67,931 and is very lengthy. His application for a grant of land was rejected, perhaps because of the following documentary evidence:
He enlisted at Snodgrass' Muster Grounds in Tennessee on or about June 24, 1836 for the term of one year. He was a private in the company commanded by Captain John Talbott in a regiment of Tennessee Militia. He was honorably discharged in Athens, TN on July 30, 1836.
In 'Deposition B' by James E Skeen dated October 34, 1891, he says that Morgan Ryan was injured under the following circumstances: At the time Ryan was injured it was reported that he had been drinking and was under the influence of liquor, but I did not know this. We had a Cherokee Indian with us who could throw a hatchet with great
accuracy while riding in a circle.
Morgan Ryan said he was going to try throwing the hatchet while riding in a circle. Myself advised him not to make the attempt and I, and three others of our mess gave him the same advice and told him he might get killed or injured.
My understanding was that Ryan made the attempt to ride in a circle and throw the hatchet without consent of his officers or their knowledge. Our company was not on drill and I suppose he was not acting under any orders from his officers when he was injured. Ryan was riding a spirited mare that belonged to him. I understood that his horse threw him against a tree but I did not see it.
This accident occurred near Loudon, Tennessee near the Tennessee River.
From historical notes, Morgan Ryan never again worked. For the remainder of his life he complained of injuries to his shoulder and arm. These injuries were probably the result of his wild ride on a pony while attempting to throw a hatchet.
Goodspeed contained an article about Cedar County, MO in 1889 that Morgan and Susan Ryan left Tennessee in 1848 and emigrated to Lawrence County, MO, then in 1850 moved to Johnson County, MO. In 1856, they came to Cedar County, MO where they lived out their lives. In a personal description of Morgan Ryan in 1890, he is 73 years of age, 6' 1' , and weighed 231 pounds.
After his military career, Morgan became a farmer. from pages 28-29.47

When John C. Hendrix died, Nancy Anne’s mother was still a minor even if she was a widow, so Morgan Ryan had himself made guardian of Nancy Anne and received money each month from the government until his greandaughter became of age.
Morgan and Susanah Ryan were said to have been mad at Joseph and would not allow Nancy Anne to marry Joseph until she came of age. What the reason for this is unknown. Perhaps the age difference or maybe Morgan didn’t want to give up the allotment he was receiving.66

He filed an application for a Bounty Land Grant based upon his War service. His application file is #67,931 and is very lengthy. His application for a grant of land was rejected, perhaps because of the following documentary evidence:
He enlisted at Snodgrass' Muster Grounds in Tennessee on or about June 24, 1836 for the term of one year. He was a private in the company commanded by Captain John Talbott in a regiment of Tennessee Militia. He was honorably discharged in Athens, TN on July 30, 1836.
In 'Deposition B' by James E Skeen dated October 34, 1891, he says that Morgan Ryan was injured under the following circumstances: At the time Ryan was injured it was reported that he had been drinking and was under the influence of liquor, but I did not know this. We had a Cherokee Indian with us who could throw a hatchet with great
accuracy while riding in a circle.
Morgan Ryan said he was going to try throwing the hatchet while riding in a circle. Myself advised him not to make the attempt and I, and three others of our mess gave him the same advice and told him he might get killed or injured.
My understanding was that Ryan made the attempt to ride in a circle and throw the hatchet without consent of his officers or their knowledge. Our company was not on drill and I suppose he was not acting under any orders from his officers when he was injured. Ryan was riding a spirited mare that belonged to him. I understood that his horse threw him against a tree but I did not see it.
This accident occurred near Loudon, Tennessee near the Tennessee River.
From historical notes, Morgan Ryan never again worked. For the remainder of his life he complained of injuries to his shoulder and arm. These injuries were probably the result of his wild ride on a pony while attempting to throw a hatchet.
Goodspeed contained an article about Cedar County, MO in 1889 that Morgan and Susan Ryan left Tennessee in 1848 and emigrated to Lawrence County, MO, then in 1850 moved to Johnson County, MO. In 1856, they came to Cedar County, MO where they lived out their lives. In a personal description of Morgan Ryan in 1890, he is 73 years of age, 6' 1' , and weighed 231 pounds.
After his military career, Morgan became a farmer. from pages 28-29.47

When John C. Hendrix died, Nancy Anne’s mother was still a minor even if she was a widow, so Morgan Ryan had himself made guardian of Nancy Anne and received money each month from the government until his greandaughter became of age.
Morgan and Susanah Ryan were said to have been mad at Joseph and would not allow Nancy Anne to marry Joseph until she came of age. What the reason for this is unknown. Perhaps the age difference or maybe Morgan didn’t want to give up the allotment he was receiving.66
