Born in Ohio of Connecticut natives Joel Ranney Jr. and Elizabeth Graham, John H. Ranney served in the 133rd Ohio Infantry Co. B during the Civil War. According to family oral account, it was in the Union army that John acquired a respiratory disability that would plague him for the rest of his life. The 1880 US Census for Elk Creek Kansas notes "chronic bronchitis" as his disability.
After the war, John moved to the Great Plains along with 3 of his siblings, Emily Clark, Harriet Headley and Joel Cyrus Ranney. In 1870 he married New York state native Mary Josephine Manning, whose parents had also moved to Kansas, and they had the following children together:
Elizabeth Mary (1871-1958) m Elmer Elsworth Hatch
Alice Cary (1873-1950) m Dillon Brown
Louis DuBois (1876-1933)
Lana Esther (1880-1923) m Arthur L Rundle
Clark Edwin (1883-1966)
John Irving (1885-1966)
(Merle) Eliott (1894-1981)
Towards the end of his life John was institutionalized in a Kansas State hospital in Parsons. The cemetery said that the owner of the plot where he and his wife were buried was bought by Elliott Ranney, their youngest child.
