by the Louisiana Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1949 There is a stained glass window depicting Father Ryan alongside Bryant, Whittier, and Longfellow in the O'Neill room of Bapst Library, Boston College. A stained glass window was donated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1909 in honor of Father Ryan to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tampa, Florida. A stained glass window was donated by the Children of the Confederacy in 1929 in honor of Ryan at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Mobile, Alabama. On 1932-10-09 a memorial fountain for Father Ryan was presented by the Robert E Lee chapter of the U.D.C. to the Julia Ideson Public Library in downtown Houston Texas. There is a memorial plaque along Hwy. 90 in Biloxi, MS, remembering Fr. Abram Ryan - it is a "vacation" bungalow which he erected and lived in during his semi-retirement after the Civil War, circa 1860s. Ryan’s memorial gravesite, located in the Catholic Cemetery in Mobile, Alabama, is set in its own area with a large Eucharistic Cross, various plaques, benches, and a flagstaff flying the papal flag. As recorded on one of the plaques at the gravesite, beginning in 2014, the papal flag is being maintained “in perpetuity” by The Fr. Abram J. Ryan Assembly #1087 of the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus in Dallas, Texas, with "the approval of the Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile." Another plaque quotes Ryan’s poem, "The Conquered Banner," and was donated by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans in 1966. In literature Ryan is mentioned in Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone with the Wind: "Father Ryan, the poet-priest of the Confederacy, never failed to call [at Melanie's home] when passing through Atlanta. He charmed gatherings there with his wit and seldom needed much urging to recite his 'Sword of Lee' or his deathless 'Conquered Banner,' which never failed to make the ladies cry."
