Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   John Ramser, farmer, Covington, was born in Switzerland, May 27, 1821, and
came to America in 1856, and in the fall of the same year came to Fountain
county and began working by the month until he accumulated money enough to buy
some land, and by hard work and economy he is now the owner of a fine farm of
350 acres, with good improvements. He has been twice married; once in the old
country, to Miss Maria Ritz, who died in 1853; and was married again in 1859, to
Elizabeth Ritz, sister of his first wife. He has three children by his first
wife: Elizabeth, John, and Frederick; and three by his present wife: Louisa,
Henry, and Charles; and three deceased: Maria, Julius, and Jacob.
