He witnessed so many events throughout his life, reflected in his positive words about local, good-hearted people. Some are funny, like an encounter with a balking milking machine; while some are tragic: losing three family members in a car accident at a CPR train crossing in 1919, and most devastatingly, the sudden loss of his beloved wife in January of 1945, leaving him with a family of ten children to raise just before the end of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRyan's words are transcribed exactly as written, to preserve his tone and understanding as best as possible for readers both in and out of his family.
