Ramsey, better known as Uncle Josh Ramsey, died at his home 4 miles north of Iuka, on the 8th inst aged about 68 years. Mr. Ramsey had been a citizen of this county for many years. He volunteered at the beginning of the great war and served as a member of Co E, 4th Alabama Cavalry - better known as Roddy’s Regiment. After the war he settled down as a farmer, near where he died. He also ran a steam mill for many years. He was an enterprising and industrious man until his health broke down a few years ago. He then moved to Burnsville where he remained several years, his health constantly growing worse. Last year he spent in Iuka, hoping that the mineral waters would be beneficial but tuberculosis had developed in his lungs and human skill cannot cope with this dread disease. He realized that death was sure and was reconciled to meet it without fear. For two days he lay in a stupor from the disease and then passed quietly away. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss. He was a member of the Baptist church. Published in: The Vidette Date of Publication: March 14, 1912 Local and Personal Mr. S. A.
