Read More	Charles and Margaret (Gabby) Ramsey were natives of Pennsylvania, the former bom in Harrisburg in 1836 and the latter in Washington county in 1841. They were reared in the Keystone state but were married near West Union, in Adams county, Ohio. In 1861 they came to Iowa, settling a mile north of Clarksville. The mother departed this life in 1893, while the father survived for a decade. He took an active interest in politics as a supporter of the democratic party and held many local oflSces. His religious faith was that of the Presbyterian church and to its teachings he was ever loyal. His life work was that of farming, which he conducted on an extensive scale until after the death of his wife. He first came to this county in 1857 but afterward returned to Ohio and brought his family in 1861. He had removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio with his parents when fourteen, years of age and resided in the latter state until he sought a home in Iowa. Here he began farming and operated large tracts of land. In 1878 he had nearly six hundred acres planted to wheat but the crop failed and he lost heavily. An epidemic of diphtheria also raged in that year and two of the children, George and Ida, died of the disease and were interred in the Lynwood cemetery. To Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ramsey were born eight children, of whom two died in infancy, while three are now living: Janette, the wife of J. L. Caskey, of Akron, Iowa; Charles, of Minnesota; and J. M. Ramsey. (contributed by James Tomlinson - Source: "History of Butler County")
