There is still a Ryan-Maddox Funeral Home in Terre Haute. There has
always been a PJ Ryan and some kind of Ryan Funeral Home. The current
PJ Ryan has Alzheimers and lives IL. I own a rental house and my
current tenant works at the funeral home. I would think that the
family history is well-documented; I do not believe that is the same
family as the Rhyan family, but I'm not sure.

I don't know it these folks are related to yours, but passing it
along just in case...
I have a book, "Terre Haute, Wabash River City", by Dorothy L Clark,
1983. On page 28 is a picture of the P.J. RYAN Livery Stable. The
acompanying copy says it was located on the west side of Main
Street. The photo is courtesy of the Vigo County Historical Society.
On page 37, a single paragraph says "On a more sober note, on
October 16, 1884, the city's only winner of the Congressional Medal
of Honor, Civil War veteran Patrick RYAN, died at the age of 72
years.
