Mrs. Belle vinson Ramsey depart
ed this life May 20, She was born in
this vicinity July -. 1885 and resided
here iii about 10 years ago
some two or three years ago she
vent to Huntington. w. Va, and en-
tered training school for nurses in the
KessIer Hospital and was there until
November 3. 1917 on which date she
s.as married to Joseph W. Ramsey.
OF Logan. w Va. who we are told is
a highly esteemed citizen and business
man.
Her husband had prepared for her
beautiful and commodious home TO
which they at once repaired where the
short period OF their welded life II Is
said. was spent in unalIoyed happi-
ness.
But swiftly and Unexpectedly she
was seized with the strong hand OF
aff1iction and within few hours OF
the first attack. she passed away.
The people of this place. where she
spent her childhood and young woman
hood. were grieved and shocked upon
receiving the sad news. and many ex-
pressions of sorrow were heard among
the people who knew and loved her.
She was kind and genial In disposition
and beloved by all who knew her.
Her habitual disposition was cheer
full and vivacious, but those who knew
her intimately could at times detect
an approach 10 malencholy- Her life
was studious, but she was student OF
life and people rather than OF books.
The writer recalls questions asked by
her before she had reached her goth
year which indicated q depth OF
thought extremely rare to one Of her
age.
Sse was eminently endowed with
those qualities OF mind and heart
which combine to make up splendid
character. Her personality was Pc
culiarly winsome and attractive and
she was dearly loved by those who
knew her best
Several years ago she was convert
ed under the Baptist ministry OF Pas
tor Hamilton. OF the Baptist church
OF Louisa and almost every time that
the writer met her after that time she
had something to say about the cause
OF Christ or her own aims and hopes

We could not but recall those touch
Ing words when reading the appeal OF
Director General McAdoo to the heads
of the five labor organizations which
have threatened to strike in order TO
improve their class conditions. In
them there il similar surprise and
pain. The strike of certain laborers
in certain railroad shops in Alexandria

that these men knew what they were
doing. They are all employees now Of
the United States Government They
are not employees OF any railroad cor
poration; therefore this was strike
against the Government OF the United
States. IL is the first time in the his
tory of our government that any Of its
employees have attempted to strike
against it. Such action is incredible.

it act in place of the shade We used
