Casaday and Ramsey family information. "My name is Ann Ramsey Lohse. I and my husband live on our farm in Northern California. I am a descendent of a long line of farmers and pioneers. My father, Robert J. Ramsey Jr., is a farmer in this same area as was his father, Robert J. Ramsey. My great grandfather was Robert R. Ramsey who came from Scotland and fought in the Civil War. He married my great grandmother, Nellie Casaday. Mr. Ramsey, as he is called by my father, built the family house in Yountville on the corner of Monroe and Jefferson. I used to love to play in the huge yard when I was a little girl. There are now three houses built where the yard once was. We would go there to visit my two great, great aunts, Grace Casaday and Mabel Frost. Nellie Casaday was the daughter of Andrew Jackson Casaday who, along with his parents Ruben and Eliza Casaday, crossed over the trails to California by covered wagon in 1853. Nellie's mother was Lydia M. Green. Her parents also came from Missouri to California by covered wagon in 1846. Lydia's parents were John D. Green and Lydia Hitchcock Green. In a family letter, it is written that Lydia was the first "white" baby born in Stockton, CA Lydia M. Green was first married to Andrew Jackson Casaday. They had at least five children. After Andrew passed away in 1881, Lydia married Andrew's much younger brother by 17 years, David Albert Casaday and had at least three more children." "Beloved Pioneer Passes Away Mrs. Margaret Casaday, highly esteemed resident of Yountville, passed away early Monday morning from the effects of a stroke suffered the previous Tuesday. Deceased was the mother of twelve children, seven having preceded her in death. Mrs. Casaday would have been 92 on the 25th inst., and her hosts of friends were preparing to honor her with a surprise on her natal day. She was able to assist with the household duties up to the time she was stricken. Mrs. Casaday was loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was a true christian woman with never an ill word for anyone. She is survived by two sons and three daughters, John and Lloyd Casaday, Mrs. Mamie Bowser, Mrs. Mable Frost and Miss Grace Casaday, besides six grandchildren. Deceased was the oldest member of the Native Daughters of Napa. She was also a member of St. Helena Chapter No. 274, 0. E. S. Funeral services were held at the home of deceased Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with Rev. Armstrong and Rev. Harry Driecks officiating. Mrs. Butler was soloist. The remains were laid to rest under a mound of flowers in the family plot in the Yountville cemetery. Pallbearers were John Steckter, Silvio Tonascia, Tony Payne, Ray Hyuck, Sam J. Webber and Jack Forrester. It is with sadness that we mention the death of Mrs. Lydia Casaday. An unsually bright and intelligent woman, to the writer it was a great pleasure to spend a time with her, as she had so many interesting stories to relate. Being the oldest resident of this neighborhood, she had its history at her finger tips, and as her father was a member of the original Donner Party, she was well posted in its travels. He had left the party, with others coming South and so escaped the horrible debacle that met the remainder of the group. Although born later, Mrs. Casaday remembered well the stories her people told of the sufferings and trials of their friends and companions. Mrs. Casaday's family has the sympathy of all. She was laid to rest in the beautiful Yountville cemetery among so many relatives and old acquaintances who have gone on before." - St. Helena Star (April 9, 1943) "Mrs. Lydia Casaday, a highly esteemed resident of Yountville, celebrated her 89th birthday anniversary a few days ago with a dinner served by her children and grandchildren. Later in the day some fifteen friends and neighbors arrived a group with gifts to help celebrate the day with the honored one." - St. Helena Star (May 3, 1940)
