The Ryans of Eagle Street - 1898 - Medina N.Y.
One hundred years ago, the Ryan's pose for a portrait

 The Ryan house on 
Eagle Street was in bad
shape, appears to be 
abandoned, how sad
after 102 years of housing
families. We understand it
now has been repaired and
is again occupied.  It was a
grand old house

  David learned telegraphy on the railroad and went to New York about  1910

David at Cony Island

David and Vincent
were brothers at 228
