  Notes	William Ryan graduated from Kaukauna High Scho ol in 1909. How could a civil engineer and former artillery officer be able to recite so many poems and classical quotations from memory? Because his grandmother, Winnifred Ryan, could not read, so after every evening meal the family had to remain at the table for a reading until the dishes were done, and then the family prayed the Rosary. His wife, Eileen Powers, came from the Waterford branch rather than the County Clare Powers family. She was a teacher, first in a one room country school, and after gra duating from the University of Wisconsin she taught High School Civics and Debating at Wausau, Fond du Lac, and Madison. She worked one summer session at Jane Addams' Hall House. She told of teaching in the one room country school right after graduating from High School. She was sent to live with a German Speaking family and said that she almost starved to death until she could speak a little German. from Paul Ryan notes.
