Husband of Mary (Carroll) Ryle, aged 59 years.
Thomas M. Ryle was the youngest surviving son of John Ryle, pioneer silk manufacturer in Paterson, New Jersey and the United States. A silk manufacturer like his father, Thomas M. Ryle was also a real-estate developer and owned a significant amount of real estate in West Paterson (now Woodland Park), New Jersey, along the banks of the Passaic River. He later converted part of the grounds into Ryle Park which was a popular recreation area for residents of Passaic County for many years. His estate stood on the present day site of the Beatrice Gilmore School where it was said "he entertained with lavish hand."
Thomas M. Ryle served as a Passaic County Freeholder around the dawn of the 20th century. After his brief political service, he lived the rest of his life in quiet retirement, never having gotten over the loss of his wife and youngest son before his own death. In 1900, the family's Pioneer Silk Company closed forever under the guidance of William and Thomas Ryle. After the death of his wife in 1901, Thomas sold the Ryle Park estate and moved into the Hamilton Club in Paterson, New Jersey, where he was a resident until the end of his life. He never remarried and lived his remaining years between the Hamilton Club in Paterson and country home (gentleman's farm) in Allamuchy, Warren County, New Jersey. He found much needed therapy working on the farm with several friends that he later purchased away from the pressures of business in Paterson. He later sold his farm to his chemist friend, John N. Hoff, but continued to live there and stay busy by working the fields. His health began to fail in 1919 and he decided to spend more time in Paterson than at the farm. In the final days of his illness in Paterson, friends encouraged him to take a drive throughout old Paterson. In spite of his being very ill, he was assisted into a car by friends who proceeded to give him one last vision of the city his family had adopted and embraced. He last gazed upon the Great Falls which had played such a major role in the family's silk business remarking to friends how majestic it looked in the autumn sunshine. Days later, Thomas Ryle died peacefully ending the family's last living connection to the silk industry. At the time of his death, he was the last surviving child of John Ryle. His estate was left to one surviving son, and two grandchildren.
Thomas M. Ryle was buried in the Ryle family plot on November 15, 1922.
Note: The year of birth for Thomas Ryle is incorrect on his pillow stone. His year of birth was 1863, not 1864.
