In Memoriam.
DEPARTED this life, on the 12th day of December, 1869, JAMES RAMSAY, aged 26 years. The deceased was the eldest son of Andrew Ramsay, Esq., Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions for the County of Edgefield, State of South Carolina, a native of Edinburg, but for many years previous to his immigration to the United States of America, a resident near Murthley Castle, Perth County, Scotland.
The subject of this melancholy notice at the commencement of hostilities between the North and the South, volunteered as a private soldier in a Company raised by Capt. C. ADAMS, and attached to the First Regiment S. C. Volunteers, under the command of Col. GREGG. He remained a member of this command until it was disbanded, and while connected with it gallantly discharged his duty as a soldier. Upon the organization of a Company afterwards by Capt. ABNEY, known as Company A, 22d S. C. Regiment, he again entered the ranks, and remained attached to this command until the close of the war.
On every battle field in Virginia and the West during the memorable period of the late war, the deceased bravely and faithfully fought under the flag of his native State, and obtained the reputation of a gallant soldier. Near the close of the war, and in front of Petersburg, Virginia, he was wounded in the right arm which disabled him from further active service in the field, and he retired to the peaceful walks of civil life to discharge the duties of the citizen.
The conduct of the deceased in all the relations of life was most exemplary. He was a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a warm and faithful friend. Of mild and unassuming disposition, he won the good opinion and regard of his fellow citizens, and the spring-time of his life promised a fruitful summer of happiness and success. But alas! before the harvest was gathered, the reaper was stricken from his labors, and the bright hopes of his relatives and friends forever shrouded in the darkness of their sorrow.
This imperfect but truthful offering to the dead is made by one who knew the virtues of the gallant soldier, and who esteemed him for the manly honesty of his heart.
A Friend.
