Those and 540 hits on the exact phrase William H Ryan were on the website- www.fultonhistory.com Enter in and there is a search page. It is an incredible website this man has so many NY state newspapers from the early 1800's to the almost current ones. I have found so much info I can't find anywhere else. He adds more every Sunday
There is a mayor and a judge by the William H Ryan name.
Check it out and good luck.
