General Notes: Husband - William Bain Ramsey

---

He was twelve years old when he accompanied his widowed mother and the other members of the family from their home in Butler County, Pennsylvania, to the Bain homestead in Armstrong County, and there he grew to manhood. His education was secured in the common schools. For a number of years he worked at Pine Creek Furnace, seven miles from Kittanning. On Aug. 18, 1862, he enlisted for service in the Civil War, in Company K, 155th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for three years or during the war. He took part in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. From the last named place he was sent to hospital at Washington, D. C., and afterward, on account of poor health, was detailed for light duty, and on April 21, 1864, on account of continued disability, was honorably discharged from a hospital at Philadelphia. After he sufficiently recovered his strength at home he was employed in mining and shipping ore for three years, at Lucinda, Clarion County, and later from Parker, Armstrong County, in company with Major W. P. Mobley, and from Bear Creek to Pittsburgh, until 1870. He then embarked in the coal business, opening coal banks at Parker and Karns City, in Armstrong County, and at St. Joe, in Butler County, and continued in that business until 1886, when he was elected assessor of the city of Parker. He served in that office for twenty-three consecutive years. In 1906 he was elected a justice of the peace, holding over his term, under the new law, from May, 1911, to December, 1911, and on Nov. 7, 1911, was reelected, for a term of six years.
He belonged to C. A. Craig Post, No. 75, G. A. R., of Parker, which he served as commander for one year, quartermaster for eight years, and later as adjutant, serving at least fifteen years in that office. Politically he was identified with the Republican party.
