Trueman Ramsay

By Mrs. Lee S. Wheeler

RAMSAY.—Died at home in Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 16, 1907, Trueman Ramsay, the last of his father's family, after an illness of about two weeks, aged 79 years and 6 months. He embraced present truth in Ohio under the preaching of Elder M. E. Cornell, in 1858, remaining steadfast in the faith of Seventh-day Adventists until his death. He was an almost continuous reader of the REVIEW from its earliest publication, and was greatly interested in the progress of the Lord's cause. A wife, a daughter in Massachusetts, and a son in Texas survive him, though not to mourn as those without hope. Visiting at home before returning to Massachusetts from the Mount Vernon convention, we were glad to minister to a parent in his last hours, though there was no plan of ours in the shaping of events as they took their course. Funeral service was conducted by the pastor, M. N. Campbell, at the Tabernacle, using as a basis of well-chosen remarks, Num. 23:10. After many unmistakable evidences of sympathy from true brethren, sisters, and friends who anticipated our wants at almost every turn, we laid father to rest in Oakhill until the time expressed in his last words, “Meet the loved ones in the resurrection.” MRS. LEE S. WHEELER.
