The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 8 Feb 1882
   DIED, at Nashville, Tenn., January 31, 1882, after long illness, MRS. MARY 
CLAYTON RAMAGE, wife of Mr. John Ramage, and cousin of Mrs. J. W. Clay, of 
this city.
   Mrs. Ramage was a daughter of the late Thomas Claiborne, who represented 
the Nashville District in the U. S. Congress in 1818.  She married Mr. Ramage 
in 1836.  For 46 years, they “climbed the hill thegither,” with reciprocal 
support, confidence, and tender and devoted love.  She was a frank, 
straightforward, matter-of-fact person, loved and esteemed for her devotion to 
her family, her social virtues, her warm-hearted, genial hospitality, whole-
souled liberality, and her unaffected, unostentatious, considerate charities, 
giving to those having nothing to give in return.  “God loveth a cheerful 
giver,” “ready to give and glad to distribute,” and we have His assurance that 
all such are “laying up for themselves a good foundation against the time to 
come, that they may attain eternal life.”  We rejoice that her end was 
peaceful, and her faith in a blessed future supreme.  Our heart is sad at her 
death, and goes out in sympathy with her bereaved family, especially her 
devoted and desolate husband.
