Death resulted from heart disease, with which he had suffered for a number of years past. For some weeks he had been growing worse and death came as no surprise. Mr. Ramsey was a veteran of the Civil war and the flag in the court house square was flying at half mast today. Among the earliest settlers in the western part of Bourbon county were the four Ramsey brothers -- Albert, who died many years ago; Robert, who passed away only about a year ago; William, who died in 1910, and Austin, whose death occurred yesterday evening. Another brother, Francis, survives. He is also a resident of this county, but did not come here with the other brothers. Emigrating from Indianapolis, Ind., in 1857, the four brothers settled in what is now the Redfield neighborhood, Austin Ramsey homesteading on the farm on which Bandera is now located. Each of the brothers took up a claim in the then almost unbroken strech [sic] west from Marmaton. They have been prominent in the affairs of the county, and many of the residents of that district today are direct descendents of those brothers. County Attorney Chester Ramsey and Superintendent of Public Schools H. D. Ramsey, both of this city, are sons of the late William T. Ramsey, and nephews of the old gentleman who passed away yesterday. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Austin Ramsey enlisted in the Tenth Kansas Volunteers, serving with that regiment until mustered out of the service, when he returned to this county. Mr. Ramsey is survived by his aged wife and four children -- Sheridan, Otto and Simion [sic] Ramsey, and Mrs. Daisy Holt -- all of whom reside in or near Uniontown. For a number of years past he had made his home in Uniontown near the home of his daughter, and it was there that death occurred. The funeral service will be held on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock from the Methodist church at Uniontown, and will be conducted by Rev. Lane of La Harpe. Interment will be made at Uniontown.
