Office of the dead for the Rev. William J. Ryan, 68, was said at Mt. St. Michael's Scholasticate Feb. 9 with funeral services Feb. 10 at St. Aloysius Church and burial at the Mount's cemetery.
Father Ryan, a native of Bordulac, N.D., spent most of his life working with Indians at several missions in the Coeur d'Alene and Colville area. For the last several years, he was assigned to St. Michael's Mission at Inchelium, where his photograph was taken on the snow-covered steps of his tiny rectory in the winter of 1966.
Survivors include four sisters, Sister Clement, Desmet, Idaho; Sister Avellina, I.H.M., Coeur d'Alene; Mrs. Theresa Clough, and Mrs. Josephine Johnson, both of Spokane; and a niece and two nephews.
