DEATH OF COL. w. $. RAMSAY.
A Prominent Mason and Leading
Citizen of Dublin.

Dublin, March 1.-THE death of no per-
more sorrow than that of Col. Whitford
S. Ramsay, who died suddenly at $40 p.
m. yesterday at his home in this city.
For some months Col. Ramsay has been
in feeble health and a week ago entered
st. Josephs Inhrmary at Atlanta for
treatment. Not being benefited, he re
turned to Dublin yesterday afternoon. The
fatigue Of travelling was too much for him
in his enfeebled condit on and in just two
hours after reaching home, he was
corpse.
Probably no man inGeorgia was more
universally beloved than Col. Ramsay. At
the outbreak of the Civil War he went to
the front as captain of the Blackshear
Guards and Yves rapidly promoted to the
rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war
he was ordained a minister in the Baptist
Church. For twenty years he was pastor
of the Dublin Baptist Church, and was
known throughout the state as one of the
most eloquent Baptist divines in Georgia.
In Masonic circles he was very promi-
nent, being chairman of the foreign cor
Tespondence committee of the Grand
Lodge, grand chaplain of the Grand Chap
ter, Royal Arch Masons, a member of st.
Omer Commandery, knights Templar and
other Masonic bodies.
Col. Ramsay was one of the most intel
lectual men in the state, and for the past
twenty years has been school commits
sioner of this county, and was recently
reelected for the term of four years.
His remains viii be inferred here Sun
day afternoon, and il is expected that
the Grand Lodge of Masons will be con
vened for the purpose of conducting the
funeral. St. Omer Commandery will also
attend the funeral.
