Funeral rites were held at 1:30 Monday afternoon at the Bethany Lutheran Church at Owen for Isaac Ryona, 79, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), who died in his sleep Thursday morning at his home in Withee.  Death was due to a heart attack.

 

The Rev. John Saarinen officiated at the services and burial was made in the Riverside Cemetery at Withee.

 

Mr. Ryona was born in Finland Oct. 11, 1876, and came to the United States in 1898, settling at Ishpeming, Mich., where he worked in the iron mines until 1912.  He then moved to Wisconsin and farmed northwest of Withee until his retirement in 1945.

 

He was married at Ishpeming in 1910 to Mary Backa, who preceded him in death on Jan. 28, 1945.  He is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. Rinald (Martha) Shallock, Marshfield; Hilma and Ina of Chicago, Ill., and Martin of Withee; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
