Whiskey rectifier held vital job in San Antonio s distilling industry in early 20th century FacebookTwitterEmail Gilbert Ryan O’Shaughnessy celebrates with family at his home at 220 Madison St. in the early 1900s. Gilbert Ryan - not to be confused with his son Gilbert, a musician who played with Jimmie’s Joys, the house band of the St. Anthony Hotel roof garden in the 1920s - spent close to three decades in the spirits trade, on the wholesale and retail sides and in manufacturing for his work as a rectifier, tasting and ensuring the quality of whiskey.

He then joined the San Antonio city parks department, where he worked until his death in 1932.Courtesy /Charles A. Schmidt
