Edward George Ryan was born at "New Castle House, " near the village of Enfield, in the county of Meath, Ireland, the son of Edward and Abby (Keogh) Ryan.
He was educated at Clongowes Wood College, where he spent seven years.
In 1830 Ryan emigrated to the United States and completed his preparation for the bar in the city of New York, supporting himself meantime by teaching. He was admitted to the bar on May 13, 1836, and in the same year went to Chicago. He removed to Racine, Wis. , in 1842, and in December 1848, to Milwaukee.
While living in Racine, he was elected a delegate to the first constitutional convention, held in 1846, and took a prominent part in the deliberations of that body. His great abilities quickly won for him a place among the leaders of the bar. He was a law partner of James G. Jenkins and Matthew H. Carpenter, and appeared upon one side or the other in nearly every important case down to the time he went upon the bench.
Upon the resignation of Chief Justice Luther S. Dixon, Governor Taylor, on June 17, 1874, appointed Ryan to succeed him. While his surpassing abilities as advocate and lawyer were well known and everywhere recognized, grave doubts were expressed as to the propriety of the appointment because of his violent and uncertain temper. This trait was the great defect of his character and undoubtedly limited his usefulness as a lawyer and citizen, although it did not mar his work as a judge. He wrote the opinion for the court in many important cases, two of which deserve special mention--Attorney General vs. The Railroads (35 Wis. , 425) and State ex rel. Drake vs. Doyle (40 Wis. , 175). The first involved the power of the state legislature to regulate the rates to be charged by railway companies. The question was then comparatively new and the issues at stake were very important. The court's opinion lays down principles of law which have been followed from that time forward. The second case mentioned involved the right of a state to prescribe the conditions upon which foreign corporations might transact business in the state. This opinion is also a landmark in constitutional law.
He was of a deeply religious nature. Born and reared in the Roman Catholic faith, he subsequently became a member of the Episcopal Church. Among his papers was found a prayer, apparently much used by him, which in simple beauty and pathos compares favorably with many to be found in books of devotion. He moved to Madison while a member of the supreme court, and died in that city.

Quotes from others about the person
A contemporary, William F. Vilas, said: "His passion burned, when lighted, like a flaming volcano, shaking him with fearful violence, and belching the hot lava of his wrath on everything and everybody which stood in opposition" (50 Wis. , 31).
In 1842, Ryan was married to Mary, the eldest daughter of Hugh Graham, who died in 1847; and in 1850, to Caroline Willard Pierce of Newburyport, Massachussets. He had three sons.
