While his father was serving in the Continental army as a commissioned officer, he was born. When 19 years of age Mr. Ramey removed with his parents, settling at Cooper's Fort in Howard County in 1821 and resided there until 1825, when he removed to Pettis County and took up the homestead where he died, six miles northeast of the city. In 1832 he was married to Ellender P. Wasson, with whom he lived happily until three years ago, when she died, and by whom he had eight children, six of whom survive, and all of whom are married and amongst the most respectable and useful citizens of the community. During the Civil War Mr. Ramey held a captain's com,mission in the fortieth regiment, M. S. M., under Col. Weir, and served with fideltity and distinction. He has lived to see its third generation fairly on the way to useful citizenship and distinction, and like Abraham of old, laid down amid his kindred and gave up a life that has been full of golden grain and whose memory and examp0le will be fondly cherished through generations to come. The funeral will take place today from the family residence and thence to the Muddy Fork church, where the remains will be interred beside those of his deceased wife.
