    JOHN GARRISON RYER.

    John Garrison Ryer, father of Police Sergeant John Ryer, and who had been substantially a resident of Yonkers all his life, died at Grasslands Hospital, Valhalla, yesterday. He was taken there nine days ago. For the past five years he has been an invalid, having suffered an apoplectic stroke. He made his home with his son John, at 93 Maple street. Heart failure is given as the cause of death.

    Mr. Ryer was 71 years of age. He was born in Mosholu when it was a part of the town of Yonkers. He was a son of the late Abram and Elizabeth Ryer. His grandfather, Dennis Majory, for many years was the keeper of a toll-bridge at Kingsbridge. When his father died, Mr. Ryer, who was then a boy, came to Yonkers proper with his mother and his grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Majory. For sixty years Mr. Ryer lived at 247 New Main street. He was a graduate of School No. 2. He was a hat-cutter by trade, and worked in the different local factories. For thirty years he was employed by the Waring Company, and for a long time was foreman of one of the departments in the plant.

    His wife, who was Miss Emma Van Orden, died about twenty-five years ago. Of the eight children only three survive – Sergeant Ryer, Cornelius Ryer of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. Hugh M. Stevenson, of Lincoln, Neb. There are also two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Parry of this city, and Mrs. Sarah Baguley of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

    The funeral services will be held at his late residence, 93 Maple street, tomorrow afternoon; interment, Oakland Cemetery.
