RAMSEY, JOHN S. - Died at the home of his relative, Mrs. Mary C. Payne, near
Weaver on last Friday evening of paralysis. "Uncle John," as he was familiarly
known, was one the pioneers of Hopkins county, coming here when the country
was almost an unbroken wild. In the eventful sixties he had the distinction of
standing for Southern rights and as a faithful soldier was always found on the
firing line of duty. At the ripe age of 78, he has been gathered home. At
grave side, Rev. F.H. Hollis, of Saltillo told of the reward awaiting the
faithful. He was laid to rest by his Masonic brotherhood. (Sulphur Springs
Gazette, Fri., Jly. 30, 1915)
