Mrs. Katherine Ryan
WHITMAN.—Mrs. Katherine A. Ryan, a resident of 47 Maple avenue, Whitman, for the past 12 years, died Sunday at a local nursing home after a long illness. She was in her 70th year.
Mrs. Ryan, a native of Brockton, was the daughter of John and Mary (McDonald) Sharkey of that city, and resided there for many years before moving to Fitchburg. After the death of her husband, George E. Ryan, she returned to this area and took employment at the Commonwealth Shoe and Leather Co. until health forced her retirement. She had been kept to bed for the past two years.
Mrs. Ryan is survived by a niece, Mrs. Evelyn Emery of Pembroke and three cousins, Misses Alice and Bertha Sharkey of Brockton and William Sharkey of Rheem, Pa.
The funeral service will be held from the funeral home, 609 Washington street, on Wednesday, at 8:15 A. M., followed by a mass of requiem at 9 in the Church of the Holy Ghost, where Mrs. Ryan was a communicant. Interment will follow in Melrose cemetery, Brockton.
