The bill calls for the erection of a monument to Father Ryan in Hagerstown, Md., listed as the birthplace of the priest. Rep. Francis X. Gallagher of Baltimore and the Washington County delegation introduced the bill February 12, soon after a historian and biographer of Father Ryan, Edward A. Egan, submitted new evidence indi cating the priest-poet’s birth place as Hagerstown. The Maryland Civil War Cen tenary Commission and a num ber of organizations interested in the Civil War and the Con federacy got behind the move after it was said that nine states and eleven cities of the South already have memorials to Father Ryan. The resolution urging the erection of a memorial noted that “Father Ryan has achieved a prominent place in Amrei- can letters as a Maryland poet of rare ability and lyrical charm.” It continued: Poverty may be no crime, but it has its penalty just the same.
