Ryan 42, former Big Timber resident died of shock and exposure early Friday morning, near Shepherd where he had resided for the past four years. Following is the Billings Gazette account of the death: Mr. Ryan's body was found in a ditch more than two miles southeast of Shepherd Friday night. Sheriff Albert Thomas reported the victim lived on a farm two and a half miles northeast of Shepherd. Mr. Ryan had been seen last at 12:30 a.m. Friday when he left a Shepherd business place and started to walk home in the near-zero weather Sheriff Thomas, who directed the day-long search by sheriff's deputies and residents of the Shepherd farming community explained. County Corner Mel Boice placed the time of death as 4 a.m. Friday. He said the cause of death was shock and exposure. As a victim of the area's first winter cold spell Mr. Ryan apparently had lost his way and fell exhausted into the ditch, the sheriff added. The body was brought to Big Timber and services were conducted from St. Mark's Episcopal church Monday afternoon, Rev. Wallace Bristor officiating. Music was by Mrs. O. A. Sippel at the organ. Pallbearers were Sam Cohn of Big Timber, Claude Christensen of Billings and John Kinghorn, Elmer Quanbeck, Jake Devries and Pete Garringa, all of Shepherd. Burial was in Mountain View. Mr. Ryan was born May 20, 1908, in Lockwood, Mo., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wesley Ryan. In 1911, the family moved to the Gallatin valley, and in 1916 moved to Big Timber. He was married in Big Timber, April 16, 1933, to Mary Amanda Traver, and in 19446 they moved to their farm near Shepherd. Mr. Rayan is survived by the widow, two daughters, Miss Marilyn Joyce Ryan and Miss Merry Ruth Ryan; the parents, who live in Shepherd, and a sister, Mrs. John Conrow of Butte.
