Obit - THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. BARTHOLOMEW RYAN of the United Kingdom Hotel, Golden-square, (Bendigo) took place yesterday afternoon, and was very largely attended. It was, indeed, one of the largest funerals ever seen in the district. Mr. Ryan having been a trooper in the Sandhurst Troop of Prince of Wales Light Horse, was buried with military honors, the firing party consisting of a company of the Volunteer Rifles. The Cavalry Troop followed the hearse on foot, the Rifles marching after them. The Oddfellows and Forresters, of whom the deceased was a member, joined in the procession, which was nearly half a mile in length. The Volunteer Band was in attendance, and they played the solemn strains of the "Dead March," in a very impressive manner.

Mr. Ryan was buried at the White Hills Cemetery, in the presence of a great crowd who were deeply affected by the mournful ceremony. In Mr. Ryan we have lost a good citizen, and an estimable man in his private capacity. - Bendigo Advertiser (Vic.) 29 January 1873 p 2

OBIT - Bridget

Death of an old Resident. It is with deep regret that we have to record the death, after a painful illness of five weeks of Mrs. PATCHELL, of Golden Square, better known to a numerous circle of friends as the widow of Mr. Bartholomew RYAN, who was engaged in business for many years at Golden Square, and died about six years ago. The circumstances of the deceased lady's illness and death were of a painful and distressing description. She was in the enjoyment of the most robust health, when one evening by an unfortunate accident she missed her footing on a flight of stone stairs at the rear of her private residence, and fell a considerable distance with much force, receiving a severe cut on the forehead.

She was very highly esteemed and respected by all who knew her, and was a most estimable person, being a good wife and affectionate mother. She leaves six children by her former marriage, all of whom she has educated at great expense. Her first husband, Mr. B. Ryan, who was one of the earliest residents of Bendigo, and was universally liked, left her valuable property at Golden-square, consisting of the United Kingdom Hotel, and the adjoining soda water and cordial manufactory.

The deceased was sister to Mr. John O'CONNOR, of the Royal Mail Hotel, Hargreaves-street, and cousin to Mr. W. O'CONNOR, of Mundy-street.
