- CLEMENT E. RYAN, M. D., who is engaged in an extensive medical practice at Appleton, Wisconsin, was born in Dubuque, Iowa, October 8, 1869, a son of Daniel and Mary (Kane) Ryan, the former a native of County Cork, Ireland, and the latter of Pennsylvania. Mr. Ryan's parents, who were farming people of Iowa, where they spent their entire lives, were the parents of five sons and one daughter. Clement E. Ryan's early educational training was secured in the parochial school at Dubuque, and from 1892 until 1897, he attended Valparaiso (Indiana) University, graduating in the latter year from the pharmaceutical department, and immediately went to Anaconda, Deerlodge county, Montana, where for two and one-half years he conducted a drug store. He then decided to enter the medical profession, and subsequently attended the Louisville (Kentucky) Medical College, having received a scholarship from Valparaiso University for excellence in his work there, and graduated in medicine (winning first honors) with the class of 1902. For eight months following he was situated at Murdock, Illinois, and he then located in Appleton, where he has since carried on a very successful general practice. He is a member of the American Medical Society, the Wisconsin Medical Association and the Outagamie County Medical Society, and his professional standing is of the highest. In political matters he is a Democrat, while his religious connection is with the Catholic Church, of which he and Mrs. Ryan are consistent members. In 1899 Dr. Ryan was united in marriage with Miss Margaret O'Donnell, who was born at Chilton, Calumet county, Wisconsin, and to this union there were born a son and a daughter, both of whom are deceased.
