Archbishop Ryan was considered the greatest of the line of bishops and archbishops that have occupied the episcopal see of Philadelphia since its erection in 1808. His reputation was national and in his home city he was accorded a popular recognition that far surpassed that of any of his pre decessors, he having been on the friendliest terms with men of all relig- ious denominations. He was one of the foremost pulpit orators in the Cath- elic church in this country. The archbishop was born in Thurles, County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb. 20, 1831. His ancestors on the pater- nal side were originally the O’Ryans, who figure in Irish history. His pa rents died when he was very young and his youthful education was re ceived from the Christian Brothers at Arles. Young Ryan studied at the Carlow seminary and later came to this coun- try, going to St. Louis, where he was appointed a professor in Carc delet seminary. On Sept. 8, 1853, he was or- dained a priest by Archbishop Ken- rick. In 1856 he was made rector of the St. Louis cathedral and four years later was placed in charge of the Church of the Annunciation. In 1872 Father Ryan was consecrated coad- jutor bishop of St. Louis, with the right of succession, and in 1884 he was appointed archbishop of Philadelphia.
