Tom Ryman, was a riverboat captain and riverboat company owner and businessman from Tennessee. He built the Union Gospel Tabernacle, later known as the Ryman Auditorium, a live performance venue and National Historic Landmark in Nashville, which is named in his honor.[1][2] Early lifeRyman was born south of Nashville, the oldest male child of Capt. John Ryman and Sarah “Sallie” Ryman's six children, three older sisters and a younger brother.[3][4] CareerIn 1864, Ryman followed his father into the riverboat business and bought his first steamer. He started three river businesses that he consolidated into the Ryman Line in 1885.[5] At its peak, his Nashville-based fleet consisted of more than 30 boats, making him one of the most successful steamboat men on the Cumberland River.[1] He also owned a waterfront saloon, at one time the largest in the city. Union Gospel TabernacleAfter hearing the Rev. Sam Jones speak at an outdoor tent revival meeting in Nashville in 1885,[1] Ryman proposed the construction of a tabernacle that would allow the people of Nashville to attend large-scale revivals indoors.[6] Ryman had attended one of Jones' 1885 revivals with the intent to heckle, but was instead converted into a devout Christian, and soon after pledged to build the tabernacle. Construction took seven years to complete and cost {{US$|100,000|1892}}.[7][8] However, Jones held his first revival at the site on May 25, 1890, with only the building's foundation and {{convert|6|ft|m|adj=on|spell=in}} walls standing.[8] Architect Hugh Cathcart Thompson designed the structure. Exceeding its construction budget, the tabernacle opened {{US$|20,000|1892}} in debt. Jones sought to name the tabernacle in Ryman's honor, but Ryman denied the request several times. After Ryman's death, the Tabernacle was renamed in his honor.[9] Personal lifeIn 1869, Ryman married Mary Elizabeth Ryman (née Baugh).[10][11][12] They had seven children.[13] Death and funeralRyman died in 1904 at his home in Nashville.[5] An estimated 4,000 people attended his funeral, held at the Tabernacle on Christmas Day. The Rev. Jones spoke at the service and once more proposed changing the Tabernacle's name to the Ryman Auditorium.[14] He asked all who agreed with the suggestion to rise. According to The Nashville American's December 26, 1904, account of the service, "as one person, the thousands who heard him were on their feet."[7][15] See also
