                               The Ryan Family

    Samuel Knapp lived on the Canaan mountain road; was a most excellent
 citizen; married Lois Lake; died in 1841, aged 72. Their sons, Samuel died
  in July, 1835, and Hiram died in August of the same year, both young men,
 and in a few months Isaac, the remaining son, died, leaving their parents,
 old people, to be cared for by an only sister, Hannah, who married Solomon
 Goodwin of Litchfield. Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin tenderly cared for her parents
during their declining years. They were all most excellent Christian people.
  Mr. Goodwin died in middle life; their children died in infancy, and Mrs.
 Goodwin was left alone in the world, no near relative, and without means of
 support; but He who "tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" provided a refuge
   for her. In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Merrick G. Hall, and their son, of
  Great Barrington, Mass., very distant relatives, Mrs. Goodwin was given a
  home and tenderly cared for. She lived to the great age of 94 years, and
                            died November, 1893.
