- Daniel J. Ryan and Winnefred Powers came to the United States about 185 0. Daniel Ryan came from Castleconnell, Co. Limerick and Winnefred Powe rs came from Killaloe, Co. Clare. They were married April 6, 1856 in Chic opee, Massachusetts. They came to Buchanan, Wisconsin in the autumn of 18 57. They purchased Lot 7 of section 24, the deed of which was recorded Ap ril 7, 1858, in viol. 20D, p 79, Outagamie County records. This 80 acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees,particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured 20 to 50 fee t. He cut down these trees with an axe. He and Winnefred with a cross-c ut saw, sawed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them togeth er into piles. The farm stumps measured 5 feet in diameter. They also c ut white and red oak fence rails 15 feet in length without a knot or spli t, and as straight as a line. He began to clear his 80 acres, building a one story log hous e, 12 X 16 feet, with two half windows and one door. The timber used he h ewed himself. A few months later he purchased a team of oxen for whi ch he built a small log stable. Later he bought a cow, and gradually addi ng to his stock of farm implements as he could afford them. About 1864 he built the house that they lived in. It was the first f rame house in the township of Buchanan, and about the same time erect ed a frame barn 32 X 50, shingled with split shingles, some of which sti ll remain in a good state of preservation. The lumber for these buildin gs was ripped by a sawmill about 2 miles east of the Ryan homestead. In 1 893 he built a frame house on a piece of land adjoining the home farm, a nd there he lived during his remaining years, passing away in February 2 4, 1907. His wife, Winnefred died October 16, 1903. They are both buri ed at St. Mary's Cemetery in South Kaukauna.. Although Daniel Ryan w as a very well known and influential man in his community, he devoted a ll of his time to his farming interests and never aspired to public prefer ment. In 1875 he bought Lot 8, section 24, which had hundreds of large mapl es. These maples measured from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Annualy for yea rs he made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supply them f or the coming year. During the Spring season it was not uncommon for the pioneers to wa lk to Green Bay to purchase necessities. In the early 70's the roads, whe re possible, were laid out on the lot or section lines. Winnefred (Powers) Ryan died on October 16, 1903 in the afterno on in her home in the Town of Buchanan. She had been an invalid through r heumatism for some time. Pneumonia settled in a few days prior to her dea th. Daniel Ryan became a citizen of the United States on November 29th, 1 870. On the day of his funeral it was snowing and the road into the farm w as full of snow. The Paper Mill had the whole shift of workers come and c lear the road so that the funeral could proceed from the house to the chur ch. After they cleared the road the workers went back to their jobs. Daniel Ryan's brother, Timothy Ryan left Ireland and went to Californ ia,and later settled in Seattle, Washington. He also had a brother Micha el Ryan who went to Sonora, California. Daniel Ryan adopted Michael Ryan 's three children February 1st 1879. He also had a brother Thomas Ryan w ho was in the Chicago area at one time. He also had a sister Bridgit, w ho went to California and married a Patrick McNamara and at one time liv ed in Knights Ferry, California. [WFT54PaulRyan.FTW]]

- William Kennedy, the venerable white-haired sage of Appleton, in a communication to the Appleton Crescent, pa ys the following tribute to the late Daniel Ryan, of the town of Buchanan:
A few days ago in the town of Buchanan a person passed away from this life, and since then I have been thinking of this man, whom I have known intimately for more than 30 years; and it appears to me that he is entitled to something more than the mere Obituary Notice the papers record, especially to the men of lowly life. This man was in many ways a remarkable man: to be sure he was not very extensively known outside of the locality in which he died; he was not in evidence at political meetings or public gatherings of any kind; he was simple and unostentations in his life, but he was diligent in his chosen occupation and he was always in evidence at his church on Sundays and holidays. The face reveals the character of the man and this man's face revealed in naturally fine intellect with which with proper culture and favorable opportunities might have won him distinction. He was born in the year 1820, in Castle Connel, in County Limerick, Ireland, within the short distance of the city of the violated treaty. Castle Connel has been a distinguished place for more than 1000 years, it still contains the ruins of those strange structures erected there before the Middle ages. During this man's residence there the peasantry believed that it was a favorite haunt of the fairies, and perhaps it would be well, if their successors in our days would believe so still. A little bit of imagination does not do anybody any harm. This man arrived in America at the age of 30 years, and he first located near the city of Springfield Mass., where he married, and where he continued to resided until the year 1856 when came to the town of Buchanan where he has lived since. While in Massachusetts he was the employ of a retired merchant, who had been so attached to him that he offered to double its compensation if he would remain permanently with him. The men among whom this man was born, among whom he lived until he was 30 years of age were in many ways remarkable men. O'Connell use to call them (and he knew) "the finest peasantry under the sun." It was their fathers, according to the Duke of Wellington, that saved the British Empire from destruction, and historians of England concede it. These men were distinguished for the absolute purity of their morals. They knew little of sin, because they had but little conception of it. They bore some resemblance at least, to the holy man that hourly worship at the altars of God. They were loyal to their friends; they had a tender hearts; they were frugal and laborious in their lives, and they kept the faith in which they were born. The man of whom I am speaking inherently inherited the qualities of these men and they continued with him through his life. Nor are they likely to pass away with his life, because he has left behind him those of his own blood who have inherited from his virtues; and they are certain to be perpetuated through them for many years to come. This man was not rich. He was simply in comfortable circumstances for his vocation in life. But if the Palace has its pleasures, and the cottage is not without its felicities: and God, after all is not inequitable and the distribution of his gifts.
"Princes and lords may flourish and may fade, a breath may take them as a breath hat has made, but a bold peasantry, their country's pride, when once destroyed can never be supplied."
He was an Irishman that wrote these lines. He is known to the world of our days as Oliver Goldsmith. But in his days his friends, for short, used call him "Poor Goldy." And it would be well especially for Irishman, and for that matter, for all men, to occasionally looked in the books that Goldsmith wrote. All that is mortal of the man that I am talking about peacefully lies in the churchyard in the town of Buchanan adjacent to the church in which he worshiped in life, and there they will remain forever. In the years, of course, he will be forgotten; but the place he lies will not be forgotten by God, because the spot that entombs the ashes of a good man remains consecrated ground forever. But who is this good man of whom I have been speaking? His name is Daniel Ryan. - WILLIAM KENNEDY.
