OBITUARY.
James Hanford Ramsey was born in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, Septem-
Der II, 1925. He died in Gray Audu-
bon county, Iowa, March IA, 1900.
aged "a years, 8 months and II DAYS.
While he was young man he went
to Ohio where he made his home for a
number of years. On March 9th, 1858,
he was married to Miss Nancy Richey,
of Oscola, Crawford county, Ohio.
About ten years la'er they moved to
Linn county Iowa, where they lived
number of years. Later they moved
to Carroll county making their home
at Dedham where they have lived for
the past thirty-one years. To them
were born ten children, seven of whom
are living and six of them were present
at the time of his death. Tho oldest
son living in Oklahoma was not able
to come. A year ago last September
he had stroke of paralysis from which
he never recovered. He became able
to be around the house for awhile but
last April he took to his bed and has
been'able to sit up only short time
since then. For several months he has
been able to be up only long enough
at time to arrange his bed Last
fall he expressed desire to come to
Gray and stay with his daughter, Mrs
Thompson. His wish was granted and
he bravely bore the fatigue of the long
ride. He, has gradually failed since
cold weather set in. All through his
sickness he has at times been great
sufferer. The last few weeks his
sufferings have been great but through
1t all he has been so patient and bore
his pain so quietly that only those who
had the care of him can at all realize
what he passed through. He never
made complaint until his sufferings
became so intense that they could not
be borne in silence. But at last he
fell asleep only to awaken beyond all
pain and suffering. He was member
OF the Methodist church and in his
death the church has lost good mem
Der. The neighbors have lost kind,
good friend and the family have lost
husband and father whose only fault
was that he::was too kind and indulgent.
But while they mourn their loss they
rejoice that he has lost nothing but has
gained everything.
ASLEEP IN Jesus,
Blessed Sleep"
