Biography  The second child of John and Mary Louise [Blakely] Ryan, was born on October 26, 1857 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. Her name was Evarista Virginia Ryan and she was baptized on October 29th, at St. Xavier Church in Cincinnati, with John Bowes and Catherine McCully as her sponsors.

The Benedictines at Annunciation Academy in Kearney, Nebraska where her aunt, Sr. Beatrice Blakely, as she was called, was Mother Superior, educated “Effie”. Determined to embark on a business career, she prepared herself in typing and shorthand.

There are many newspaper clippings about the career of Miss Effie that are too numerous to list here. The following article was published in 1896 and sums up everything nicely:
HARMON'S ACT
He Cuts Off Miss Effie V. Ryan's Official Head.
The Government Building People Much Surprised
Finale of Some Interesting Correspondence Between Here and Washington-Its Sequel.
The many friends of Miss Effie V. Ryan, who since Oct. 19, 1887 has been the official stenographer on the Court floor of the Government Building, will be greatly surprised to learn that she has been summarily dropped by the order of U. S. Attorney General Judson Harmon.
The Attorney General's final action in this matter has caused no end of talk about the Government Building. Monday there was great surprise manifested in all the departments that Miss Ryan had been dropped. The Attorney General's course regarding Miss Ryan, who is one of the best known Court stenographers in the country by reason of the office she held, is a puzzle to some.
The story is not a new one. Miss Ryan was appointed to a position by Attorney General Garland, under Cleveland's first Administration. W. H. Burnet was the District Attorney. The Fidelity National Bank failure had occurred and the District Attorney's office overrun with work. Mr. Burnet found it absolutely necessary to have relief and secured permission from Garland to have a stenographer. Miss Ryan was appointed. She was soon called into the Fidelity grand jury cases, and was appointed in an official way to take the evidence before the Fidelity grand jury.
The appointment was the first one of the kind ever given a woman in the U. S. Courts in this country, and attracted much attention. The grand jury lasted eleven days, and next she was called into the Harper trial, and took evidence for fourteen days. Next came the Metropolitan Bank cases and the trial of Hopkins; she took this, working thirty-seven days. All this was extra work, not provided for under her appointment. After the trials were over, Mr. Burnet went to Washington City, and after consultation with the authorities, succeeded in getting Miss Ryan retained in office.
There is no U. S. District Attorney's office in the country allowed an appropriation for a stenographer, and as a result every Attorney General since Garland's time has had her position to consider. Miller and Olney both passed on it, and allowed her to remain. When Judge Harmon went to Washington, he too had his attention drawn to the position. One day, about the middle of last February, District Attorney Harlan Cleveland received a letter from Judge Harmon saying that Miss Ryan's service would be abolished.
Judge Sage took the matter up and wrote a letter to the Attorney General, explaining that Miss Ryan was not really employed and paid by the District Attorney's office--that she was employed to do certain kinds of Court work, and that her dismissal was a mistake. Attorney General Harmon telegraphed to District Attorney Cleveland to reinstate Miss Ryan at once.

The last time the Attorney General was in Cincinnati he seems to have looked into the matter further, at the suggestion of some people who are declared to have had an ulterior motive in displacing Miss Ryan. Upon his return to Washington City, he wrote the District Attorney a letter saying that he had reviewed the case and decided to revoke his telegram saying that she be reinstated. The result of the whole business is that Miss Ryan finds herself out after nine years of faithful service. Her work in the Fidelity cases was gratuitous and not paid for. The Government has never rewarded her for this work because there was no appropriation for it.
After her reinstatement in February she was called into several      important cases and sworn in as official clerk of the U. S. grand jury--an honor for the first time conferred upon a woman in this      country.
There is said to be a little bit of very interesting history back of her displacement by the Attorney General, and those who have kept track of this case declare that it will have an echo of unexpected      proportions. Miss Ryan has the friendship of a wide circle of people who will be sorry to learn of the way in which she has been dealt with by Cincinnati's member of President Cleveland's Cabinet. While Effie was performing her duties as Special Examiner in the Fidelity Bank case, this article appeared in the local newspaper and provides an amusing glimpse of the times in which this pioneer lady lived.

WALKS AND TALKS
A good story is being told about the United Courts and the lawyers' offices: "Miss Effie V. Ryan, the handsome lady stenographer of the United States Court, was some time ago made a Special Examiner for the taking of depositions in the three million dollar suit against the directors of the Fidelity Bank. She has examined a number of witnesses and is the only court of the kind which can report the evidence taken before it and write it out accurately. When she is not examining witnesses, she is diligently engaged transcribing her shorthand notes by means of a typewriter. The other day she issued subpoenas for a half dozen bank officials to appear at 2 o'clock. They came promptly to hand, as bank men usually do. Miss Ryan was sitting at her typewriter, and they paid as little attention to her as she did to them, she, as the court, waiting for the appearance of the District Attorney and other lawyers. The banking bloods became impatient at the delay and began wondering where Mr. Ryan could be. One who assumed to speak the loudest, by reason of seniority, loudly asserted: "Mr. Ryan should not have summoned us till half past two if he couldn't be on hand himself." Miss Ryan leaned over her typewriter and said never a word. Presently Mr. Wilby, with the lawyers in the case, came into the room. On seeing him, the eldest bank officer shouted out: "Say, Wilby, who is this fellow Ryan?" Wilby looked confused and turned the conversation.
Presently the District Attorney came in and Miss Ryan said to him: "Mr. Burnet, we had better go right on and not wait for the others." The examination then began; but it was some moments before the bankers "caught on" to the fact that the fair stenographer was the court, and the "Mr." Ryan they had been pitching into so vigorously,before her face. In their turn they never said a word, and will not make the same mistake again.
Miss Ryan, when asked about the amusing episode, didn't affirm or deny it, but the mirth in her countenance, as the scene was recalled, was confirmation of the truth to the story.
Mr. Burnet knew nothing of it till a Telegram walker told him the story. He laughed quite heartily about it and remarked: "Oh, that's nothing. Just wait till her court regularly opens and you     hear her addressed as Your Honor. Then you'll see some of the people open their eyes in genuine astonishment."When Harmon so unceremoniously dismissed Effie, there was a bit of an upheaval in the court building. Citing the fact that Effie had never been paid for her services due to an oversight and Government "red tape," she received many offers of assistance and legal advice from her many friends. However, she chose instead to continue her career in the District Attorney's office. She would eventually resign her position and open a school in her home, teaching typing and short hand and the art of stenography.
In her spare time, Effie was interested in the theatrical arts. She and her friends would put on and star in plays. The name of their group was The Maskers, and one such play resulted in this write up in the newspaper:
The young society people of the Cathedral, composing the dramatic club called The Maskers, gave two charming and most interesting comedy plays at St. Mary's Hall last evening, to a very large audience. ...Miss Effie Ryan as Louise de la Glaciere was lovely, and won applause as the beautiful wife of the Baron de Glaciere in the third act. The club is certainly entitled to great praise for the artistic and intelligent presentation of two such high class plays, as the one’s which furnished the entertainment last evening.
Effie was an active participant in the election of Miss Edith Campbell to the School Board of Cincinnati, who was the first woman to hold that position. She was also an active member of the Women's Club of Cincinnati for many years. Effie Virginia Ryan, finding fulfillment in her career, family and friends, never married. According to an announcement of her death in 1912 in a Cincinnati newspaper.

Birth*1826 John Becan Ryan was born in 1826 at Ireland 1880 census says he was born in England. 
 He was the son of Cornelius Ryan. 
MARRIAGE*11 September 1855 He married Mary Louise Blakely, daughter of James B. Blakely and Susananna Smyth, on 11 September 1855 at Pittsburgh, PA, Husband's name and marriage date courtesy of a Ryan relative. Her wedding was at St. Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh.1 
Death*19 January 1871  On 19 January 1871 John suffered a heart attack and died on January 19, 1871. His obituary stated:

     In religion, Mr. Ryan was a devoted Catholic. He was a genial and           generous friend, a gentleman in the fullest sense of the word, possessed           business qualifications of the highest order, was a person of the           strictest integrity, a very devoted husband and father, and was                respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, delicate in health,           but of culture and refinement and a lovely family of six children, four           girls and two boys, the eldest being fourteen and the youngest two           years of age, to mourn his loss.

 
Biography*1851  In 1851 John B. Ryan was born in County Cork, Ireland in 1826, the son of Cornelius and Ann Ryan. Cornelius was a very wealthy businessman connected with the construction of canals, and like many other men of his time lost everything during the financial panics of the late 1850s.

John received a tolerably good education, then served an apprenticeship at paper making in Hamilton Ohio. Later he worked in a Mr. Grahams’ store that was connected with the paper manufactory.

On January 1, 1851 he entered as partner into the house of Applegate & Company. In March of that year, having been born in Ireland, John applied for and received his naturalization papers becoming an American citizen.

John was working at Applegate & Company when he married Mary Louise Blakely, and he remained there until March 1, 1859. After leaving the firm of Applegate & Co. he worked for “Dodge's Patent Stove & Grate business.” Allegedly, this was a precursor to the modern centralized heating system.

 Henrietta F. Sandiford was the daughter of Henry J. Sandiford and Sarah Holland.1 
Biography*  By the way, have you ever run into the name Sarah Holland in the Pulaski area, perhaps Twiggs, perhaps Bleckley? She was the first wife of Henry J. Sandiford, and one of their children was Henrietta, called Hennie. Aunt Hennie, as everybody called her, was, how shall I say, the life of the party. Much joie de vivre. She took to her stepmother, Sarah Prichett Sandiford (Henry liked Sarahs), and apparently didn't venture over into Hollandland after her mother's death. I seem to recall that Henry's father was a plantation overseer for one of the Hollands.
It occurred to me that since Aunt Hennie was such a character, her mother may have been, too, which could mean that there is a connection with your Hollands. They sound like a great bunch. Would love to be around them.2

Birth*1829 Henry J. Sandiford was born in 1829.2 
 He was the son of Thomas R. Sandiford.2 
MARRIAGE*8 February 1863 He married Sarah Holland, daughter of Elisha Holland and Margaret Bryant, on 8 February 1863 at Pulaski County, GA.1,3 
Biography*  Henry J. Sandiford, himself, was an overseer for Daniel Holland, whom I describe in my book as being a wealthy 65-year-old Twiggs County farmer. Further, I note that Henry J. was apparently a bachelor when he held the job of overseer around 1860 at the age of 30. It's possible that Henry J. and Sarah came in contact while he worked there, but my book theorizes that Sarah's father was Elisha Holland, although I was not able to establish what connection there was, if any, to Daniel Holland. Here's my reasoning on Elisha. The 1850 Pulaski census showed Sarah, age 15, living with Elisha, along with mother, Mary Holland. Sarah was shown as being 25 in 1860, the same year that Henry J. was shown to be 30. That fits, but this is not definite proof that Elisha was the father. I bet he was, though.

I just noticed that the 1860 census shows the following living with Daniel Holland: Mary, 68, his wife; HENRYETTA, 15, born in Georgia; Henry J. Sandiford, 30, overseer, Hosey Berry, 12, born in Georgia. Hosey Berry is a real mystery. But I wonder if Aunt Hennie was named by Sarah Holland for her possible cousin, Henryetta? I think the name Frances came from the Sandiford line. Maybe you can find something.

Apparently, Henry J. worked for Daniel Holland only a short time. Why? The census was taken in 1860. Then came the war to beat all wars, and Henry J. and three of his brothers were off to fight. Henry J. apparently married Sarah Holland during the war while he was on furlough. Don't have the record before me, but I think it was in 1863. Henry J. served almost the entire war and lived to return home. What a lucky man, and what a lucky entity am I. I don't know why they married during the war. The cynics among us would say that he was trying to drum up an excuse to get out of service. I don't think that washes, because everybody was serving, and pine-box makers were making tons of money. Everett Floyd, you might recall, married Mary Scarborough during the war. But he, too, like Henry J., continued to fight. I thorized that Everett married Mary during the war so that she, as a wife of a Confederate soldier, would qualify for a ration of salt. Salt, as you know, was crucial for preserving meat. People without it, could become malnourished, and when that happens such things a pelaggra set it. We know she applied for the ration, so I believe I'm right. I think the same thing happened in the case of Henry J. and Sarah. There is one other angle. Just about every soldier was injured in some way. And I can just see the first available woman back home cleaning wounds, applying salve or whatever they had, and redressing the wounds. Get the picture? That can get downright intimate. One thing leads to another, and voila!4
