Sudden Death of 0. R. Ryan

Chicago, Ill., Nov. 11—The sad news was telegraphed here Friday evening that O. R. Ryan, one of the most popular traveling men in the west and representing the Towle Mfg. Co., this city, had died suddenly at the Athearn hotel, in Oshkosh, Wis. While eating a lozenge it slipped into his windpipe and he died in a few minutes from suffocation. Mr. Ryan had been western and northwestern traveler for the Towle Mfg. Co. for 10 years past and all who knew him liked him. He was a remarkably successful salesman, due in large measure to his indefatigable energy. For his probity of character he had endeared himself to his many customers, who relied upon his word and judgment to an unusual extent. The knowledge that "Whatever Ryan says is so" was another reason for his success.

Mr. Ryan was the senior partner in the jewelry firm of Ryan & Barnhart, Reedsburg, Wis., and has an uncle, C. E. Ryan, in business at Baraboo, Wis. He was also related by marriage to A. L. Haman, St. Paul, Minn. Deceased was a man of fine principles and politically was a staunch Republican and much sought after as a campaign speaker. He took great interest in the money question, in which he was well posted, and was a wide reader and a student. He was held in the highest esteem by his employers, both as a business and personal friend. Mr. Ryan leaves a wife and one daughter, aged 17 years, who has graduated from the State University at Madison.

Mr. Todd, of the Towle Mfg. Co., left for Oshkosh immediately on receipt of the telegram, to make such arrangements as the family might desire.
