GEORGE JABEZ RAMSEY, D. C.

    Dr. George Jabez Ramsey, a successful chiropractor of Richfield, was born at
Noblesville, Indiana, in May, 1863, a son of George W. and Amanda (Ross) Ramsey.
His father, a veteran of the Civil war, was for many years a farmer, carpenter
and wagon maker in the state of Illinois.

    Dr. Ramsey was educated in the graded schools of his native state and in the
Union Christian College at Merom, Indiana, and following his graduation from
that institution removed to Utah, where for thirteen years he engaged in
teaching school in various parts of the state. During leisure periods he pursued
a post-graduate course in the Brigham Young University of Provo and following
the completion of his course in 1891 he was appointed principal of the Morgan
Stake Academy of Morgan county, filling that position until 1894, when he became
principal of the Davis Stake Academy of Davis county. In 1895 he retired from
the profession of teaching and turned his attention to merchandising in Provo,
there remaining for a period of three years, after which he took up his
residence in Salt Lake City, where he was engaged in business until 1917, when
he went to Davenport, Iowa, and entered the Palmer School of Chiropractic. He
was there graduated in March, 1919, with the degrees of D. C. and Ph. C. He then
located for practice in Richfield, opening offices in the James M. Peterson Bank
building, where he has already built up an extensive and gratifying practice.

    Dr. Ramsey was married to Miss Rose Bleak, a daughter of James G. Bleak, one
of the founders of the town of St. George, Utah, and the driver of the sixth
wagon in a caravan of Mormons, who under instructions from the church located
the town of St. George. To Dr. and Mrs. Ramsey have been born the following
named: Jessie B., the wife of Wilford Ence, of Salt Lake; Olive R., the wife of
Allen M. Smith, of Salt Lake; Kate, the wife of Carl W. Hill, of Klein, Montana;
Karl G., of Moline, Illinois, who served in the war with Germany and was a
sergeant of the Ambulance Corps; Ross J., of the Capital Electric Company of
Salt Lake, employed with the Food Administration during the period of the World
war; Melba, the wife of Karl Gumbmann, of Salt Lake; Amanda, living at Horace;
James and Jane, twins; and Ruth, who Is now a student in the Riverside school of
Salt Lake City.

    Dr. Ramsey is a consistent member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and has passed through the priesthood to the bishopric. He is
in every sense of the term a wide-awake, alert and progressive citizen, taking
an active interest in all matters pertaining to the public good. In manner he is
always genial, pleasant and courteous and he is thoroughly equipped for the
practice of his profession, which is rapidly becoming the most popular school of
healing in the state.
