The TALES you probably never heard about

DAVID RAMEY

[Welland Telegraph, 20 March 1891]

On Thursday evening last, David Ramey, one of Port’s oldest and most respected residents, passed over to that bourne from whence no traveller returns. Deceased was in good health up to Tuesday evening, when he was stricken with heart failure, but lingered till Thursday evening, when he expired at the age of 62 years. He was born on the old homestead at Ramey’s Bend, but lived the greater part of his life in Port Colborne. He was a widower, and leaves six children, three of which are married, to mourn. The remains were interred at Overholt’s cemetery on Sunday last. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Morton. A large concourse of friends and relatives attended.
