Robert Ramsay, 77, died suddenly at 5:20 yesterday while walking in the yard of the home of his son, T. P. Ramsay, 1916 Barnwell street.
Mr. Ramsay was a native of Edgefield county. Previous to his retirement some time ago he was a textile worker. He was a member of the Baptist church.
He is survived by two sons, T. P. Ramsay and W. J. Ramsay, both of Columbia, and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock Friday morning from the residence of his son, 1916 Barnwell street, with the Rev. Andrew Hartley, pastor of Broadway Baptist church, in charge. Interment was in the Gunter family burial ground, near Pelion.

My mother told me she was there when her grandfather died. She said he had been fishing and put his fishing poles under the house then fell dead. She said she yelled for help and a neighbor came but there was nothing they could do to revive him. She said he liked to fish at the river with cane fishing poles. Dying suddenly at the end of a day of fishing seems a good ending.
