My great, great grandfather.

Re his burial: I am pretty sure that this is where he is buried. His death certificate states that he is buried at the Gatliff Cemetery in Mount Pleasant, Racine County, Wisconsin. In researching this cemetery, I have learned that the Racine County Asylum was also known as the Gatliff Asylum. People from the asylum were buried here, as well as unknown persons and persons unable to pay for a burial. At the time of James Ramsay's death, he may have been in the "unknown persons" category. On September 12, 1916 the following article was published in a Racine paper: AGED, SICK AND ALONE, MAN DIES IN FRANKSVILLE BARN. Body of James Ramsey, 65, is at local morgue while coroner seeks to locate relatives. James Ramsey, farm hand, between 60 and 65 years of age, was discovered dead in the barn of Mr Breitzman at Franksville Saturday morning. The body was brought to the undertaking parlors of Bayermann & Krug. Deceased had worked on the Herzog farm at Corliss and had been ill for some time. Dr Goebel, of Franksville, attended him. Friday evening he arrived in Franksville by train and was seen by the physician. At 8:00 o'clock that night he disappeared and nothing was known of him until the body was found in the barn. It is supposed that he entered the barn to sleep and that death resulted from his illness. At the Herzog farm the man said he had relatives in the northern part of the state and a son who was a detective in Chicago. The local police office has made unsuccessful efforts to locate the relatives or the son. Coroner Kissow took charge of the body and is making an investigation.

The informant on the death certificate is W F Kissow, Coroner. Date of burial was September 15, 1916.

I also found an additional note in The Racine Journal News: BURIED BY THE COUNTY - The body of James Ramsey, the farm hand found dead in a barn at Franksville ten days ago, was buried by the county. His son and other relatives were notified of his death, but they did not signify a desire to take care of the remains.

I also found the following information regarding the asylum:
The Racine County Insane Asylum was established in 1889. The asylum was destroyed in a fire in 1904 that was widely covered in the national press. The asylum was rebuilt after the fire, and a home for the county poor was added to the facility in 1918. The institution was also known as the Gatliff Asylum and was served by the Gatliff stop on the railroad. Gatliff was named after Nelson Gatliff (1813–1898), an early pioneer in Racine County who owned extensive farmland. The facility was also used as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Later it was known as High Ridge Hospitals and High Ridge Health Care Center of Racine County. It was razed circa 1980. The site is now a retail development known as High Ridge Centre, with only the old pond remaining from the former asylum.

James was never a patient of the asylum, just buried in the asylum cemetery.
