The Wyoming Tribune - January 5, 1921
Rock Springs, Jan. 3. -- It is with sincere regret that we have to record the 
death of one of our most prominent citizens and a pioneer resident of Rock 
Springs, Robert Ramsay, which occurred with startling suddenness on Christmas 
morning. Along with his wife, Mr. Ramsay had gone to Crook, Colorado to spend 
the winter with his daughter, Mrs. Toom. Just after dinner on Christmas day he 
was sitting reading a book which another daughter had sent him from Chicago. 
His little niece went into the room and told her mother that her grandfather 
was sleeping and the mother cautioned the child to be quiet and not disturb 
him. A few minutes after Mrs. Toom entered the room and being alarmed at her 
father's appearance summoned her husband, Dr. Toom, who found that the old man 
was dead. Without sign or sound he quietly passed away.

The end was the more unexpected as Mr. Ramsay during his long life had never 
had a single day's sickness. Mr. Ramsay was born at Barrhead, near Glasgow, 
Scotland, 74 years ago. He came direct to Rock Springs in 1883 and has resided 
here ever since. On coming to Rock Springs he accepted a position with the 
Beckwith & Quinn store, then the principal store in the city and remained with 
them for ten years. He then purchased a ranch and became one of the leading 
stockmen in the distict. Mr. Ramsay took no active part in public affairs but 
he was well known and highly respected in the city, and his many friends grieve 
with the family in their great loss. The body was brought to the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Charles Outsen in this city and the funeral took place from her 
house on Wednesday, Rev. Morten Joslin of he Episcopal church officiating. He 
is survived by his wife, five sons and five daughters, and 32 grandchildren.
