Hi, Jewell and his dad were living in Black Stump Valley in about 1950. They had a 35 acre field on top of the mountain behind their rock house that they pulled wagons and plows up with tractor in reverse and a front end hitch it was so steep. Don't think their combine could get up there unless there was a back road. I didn't know his mom was a Laney. Jewell left for a time and bought land on the Red River. Some Ramages were connected in Arkansas and Oklahoma to mom's Carey- Stone- Copeland- Bateman- Hipp lines of Hope, Nashville, and other Arkansas towns. You mentioned a Hollis. Walter Hollis lived in Hico and when his garage burned and burned the thresher belts, I think was the end of thresher runs for him He is buried at the Johnsville Church of Christ cemetery between my childhood home and the Johnsville school before it was moved to the Three Way site on U.S. 67. We used to walk by there going to school. Walter was a quiet, smiling, and dignified gentleman to the end. he and Melvin and Toad Riggs loved hot coffee, especially from the cookshacks, which were dropped about 1938 or so. They were also involved with the Johnsville Cotton Gin, which we used in the 1930's . When it closed we used the Selden Stone gin by the spring. Dad finally ginned at Hamilton before the conversion to Dairies killed the cotton industry. It was just a part of the rotation to clean grain land up for corn or visa versa. Take care- will check on mom's Ramage records. Charles Wyly
