LUCIEN S. RAMSEUR.
    Lucien S. Ramseur, who is widely recognized as one of the leading and
representative business men of Hot Springs, has since February, 1912, occupied
the important position of manager of the local branch of the Scott-Mayer
Commission Company, wholesale grocers and dealers in fruits and produce. His
birth occurred in Augusta, Arkansas, on the 4th of November, 1877, his parents
being Colonel Lee M. and Mary I. (Bland) Ramseur, the former an officer of the
Confederate army during the Civil war. Colonel Ramseur, who was long numbered
among the prominent attorneys of Augusta, this state, is deceased, but the
mother survives and now makes her home with her son, Lucien S.

    In the acquirement of an education Lucien S. Ramseur attended the public
schools of his native city, Center College of Danville, Kentucky, and the
University of Arkansas. Thus well equipped, he started out upon his business
career in 1897, when a young man of twenty years, as shipping clerk in the
employ of the Scott-Mayer Commission Company of Little Rock, with which he was
identified through the succeeding nine years. In 1906 he resigned his position
and went on the road for the American Tobacco Company in Texas territory, being
thus engaged for about one year. It was in 1908 that he came to Hot Springs as
assistant manager of the branch of the Scott-Mayer Commission Company here and
four years later was appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of
the manager. He has filled the responsible position of manager at Hot Springs
for nearly a decade and the business has continued to prosper under his able
direction, the Scott-Mayer Company regarding him as one of its most efficient
and successful  representatives.

    In  June, 1914, Mr. Ramseur was united in marriage to Miss Helen Anderson of
Statesville, North Carolina, and they have become parents of a daughter, Martha
Helen. Fraternally Mr. Ramseur is identified with the Masons, belonging to Hot
Springs Lodge, No. 62, A. F. & A. M.; Hot Springs Chapter, No. 47, R. A. M.; and
Hot Springs Commandery, No. 5, Knights Templar. His religious faith is indicated
by his membership in the Methodist church, in which he is serving as steward and
to which his wife also belongs. He is likewise connected with the Rotary Club
and with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a college fraternity. His life has been spent
in Arkansas, and through the wise utilization of his opportunities he has won a
most creditable position in business circles of Hot Springs.
