RAMSEY, William - William Ramsey died at his home in Monte Ne at half past seven October 4. He was 62 years, 8 months and 24 days old at the time of his death. Funeral services were held Thursday at 11 o'clock, Rev. J.G. Bailey conducting the services which were held at the McDaniel cemetery. Mr. Ramsey's death was no great surprise to those who knew his condition for he had been seriously ill for some time and his friends knew the end was near. He had been in poor health for the past five years. Heart trouble and dropsy were the cause of his death. Mr. Ramsey was born in Marshall county, Tenn. January 11, 1842 and came to Benton county in 1856, being one of the first residents in this part of the county. He was a Confederate soldier, serving three years in the war. A few years later he returned home and settled in this section where he has since made his home. He was married January 27, 1867 to Miss Martha Delia Walls, who survives him. To them were born seven children of whom five are now living - four sons and one daughter. Two sons, Robert and Willie, who are both at home; Mrs. L.D. Jackson, living near Monte Ne; J.D. Ramsey of Los Angeles, Cal. and J.C. Ramsey of Bernal, Kansas. Mr. Ramsey made a profession of religion and united with the C.P. church; the church being discontinued he united with no other but lived a true Christian life to the end.
