Biography

William H. Ryan devoted himself to public service as a representative of his district in the United States House, where he championed the needs of his constituents while remaining grounded in the concerns of everyday citizens. After practicing law he entered politics with a spirit of fairness and a belief that government should respond to the people it served.

He returned to private life with the same integrity that marked his time in Congress, and his memory rests with those who gather at Mount Calvary Cemetery to celebrate a life of service.
