Mr. Ryner was married Dec. 12, 1906, to Edith M. Woods, also of Union township. They were the parents of four children, a son and a daughter dying in infancy.

He is survived by his wife; one son, William A. Ryner of Union township; a daughter, Mrs. Wayne B. Detrick of Winterset; three grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. W. H. Lull of Union township.
