The many friends of Ernest Ramey, well known business man, political figure and highway official in this city for many years, were saddened to learn of his passing away at 2:00 o'clock Friday morning of last week.
Ernest Ramey, youngest son of Samuel and Catherine Ramey, was born in Vernon township, September 10, 1886, and passed from this life at the family residence in Clare on January 30, 1942, having reached the age of fifty-five years, four months, and twenty days.
He spent his boyhood days on the farm in Vernon township and lived there until going to Marion in 1904.
In 1905, Mr. Ramey was united in marriage with Miss Vera Chapple, in Clare. To this happy union were born four children, one of whom, Ernest Don, died at the age of two years, in 1925.
He left Marion in 1907 and went to California, where he resided four years, returning to Clare in 1911, when he became engaged in business here.
For approximately twenty years the deceased was engaged in the meat business in Clare and, following his retirement from business, he became employed in the State Highway Department. At the time of his death he was superintendent of the State Highway Department in Clare county, a position he had held for the past two years.
He was active in city politics acting as alderman and supervisor of his ward for several years and always took a great interest in civic affairs, being a great lover of all the better things of life.
Mr. Ramey was a member of the Masonic Order for some twenty years. He had been in failing health for the past year and was confined to the bed for the last ten weeks.
There are left to mourn the going of this loyal American citizen and devoted husband and father, two daughters; Mrs. Mildred Shefferly, of Detroit, and Doris, who lives at home; one son, Robert, at home; one brother, Leslie Ramey, who resides in Santa Maria, California; one small grandson, Larry Shefferly, of Detroit; other relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held from the Doherty Funeral Home at 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon, with Dr. John H. Hall officiating and interment made in Cherry Grove Cemetery. The pallbearers were Clare State Highway Department employees and the commitment service was in charge of the Clare Masonic Lodge.
Those attending from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Switzer, of Amble; Mr. and Mrs. Orson Myers, of Grand Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lowry and Rea Venner, of Marion; Mr. and Mrs Tom White, of Mt. Morris; Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kinney, of Flint; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Crossen, of Midland; Mrs. Helen Chapple, of Coral; Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Grimm, of Whittemore; Mr. and Mrs. George Finch, of Saginaw; and Rea V. Kennedy, of the Cadillac office of the State Highway Department. Other state highway officials called here and paid their respects to their fellow employee.
