R. C.  RAMSBY

     Mr. Ramsby, a native of Ohio, came to Oregon in 1850, being then of the age
of twenty-seven. A few months later the gold fever took him to California. After
a year and a half he set out for New York, by a sailing ship, on which he had
the misfortune to be wrecked on the coast of Central America. From there he made
his way to New Orleans by way of the City of Mexico, and subsequently got safely
to Indiana. He was married to Miss Mary Reynolds, by whom he has had seven
children ; E. B., M. D., S. M., Athaliah, Jennie, Clara, and C. E. In 1868 he
came again to Oregon, bringing his wife, and children. Since his coming he has
followed farming mostly, with several spells of various civil offices, notably
the sheriffship of Marion County, which he held in 1880-82.
