Mr. Ramsay was educated at Fettes College, Edinburgh, leaving school at the age of seventeen, and the next three years being articled in a law office. He was subsequently lieutenant in the Third Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry. In 1886 he came to Manitoba and located at Virden, where he conducted a farm until 1898, at which time he came to Brandon, where he engaged in cigar manufacturing and traveled throughout Manitoba and the North-West Territories in connection with his business interests. In 1896 he was commissioned lieutenant to what was then known as the Manitoba Dragoons and stationed at Virden, and in 1904 when the squadron was converted into the Canadian Mounted Rifles, he was made Captain of A Squadron. In 1902 Captain Ramsay was in charge of the contingent of the Canadian Mounted Rifles of Manitoba, which was sent to attend the coronation of King Edward the Seventh. In 1886 Captain Ramsay married Miss Sophia Probert, a daughter of William Probert, of Edinburgh, Scotland. They are the parents of four children: Hilda, Florence, Daisy and William. Captain Ramsay is a member of the Brandon Board of Trade, and since 1903 has been president of the Brandon Club.

Shirley, The listing is for Herbert Clement Graham, collector of customs for Brandon, b. 27 Feb 1856 in Oxford co, Ontario, son of Allen E. Graham. It says his maternal ancestor was Sarah Caroline Vanatter - (Is that a fancy way of saying his mother? ) Both grandfathers fought in the war of 1812 under Gen. Brock. He married Annie Cunningham, dau of John Cunningham of Duart, Kent co, ON. Four children: John W, Allen Gordon, Cecelia and Winnifred. Had a coal business at Carroll, MB and real estate interests in Wpg, Brandon and throughout the province. Is this anyone you are looking for? Bette . -----Original Message----- From: S.E.

Hi group, If I sent you any information that was appropriate or that fit, would you mind letting me know. Some times there are photos with these bios that I could send you (if I can figure out how to use this scanner). PS - there were no photos for Telford or James Bette
