I found the information about the civil war vets especially interesting since two great great grandfathers were mentioned--the first being William L. Ryan, 2 nd Lt, of Muskegon as one of the officers of Co. H of the Michigan 3rd when they formed, and the 2nd being James Maze, editor of the Newaygo Republican who wrote the editorial calling for enlistments from Newaygo. Wm Ryan eventually became a major and was disabled by a wound in the thigh at the second Battle of Bull Run.
