Mrs. C. D. Ramsey Still Builds
Her Ties to Salem Camp Ground
EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol
lowing article, written by Kay
McLeod, Atlanta Constitution
Church Editor, is reprinted
from the Constitution of Sat
urday, August 18.
“CONYERS, Aug. 17 — "I'll
’be 83 years old next Wednes
day, and in all that time I've
only missed two camp meetings
here.” Mrs. C. D. Ramsejr said
reminiscing over her experien
ces at Salem Camp Ground near
here.
“And I wouldn't have missed
them, except that two of my
five children happened to come
| along right about that time,’’
continues Mrs. Ramsey.
PROFESSED FAITH HERE
“The gray haired old lady who
is still young in spirit sat in
I her rocking chair on the porch
! of the "tent” that was built by
i her grandfather more than 100
I years ago, surveying the o1 d
' camp ground which she loves
1 so much.
I "Mrs. Ramsey’s story is more
or less the story of Salem Camp
Ground. Not only has she at
tended more camp meetings here
| than any other living camper,
( but she was born less than “a
। mile down the road from here,”
' she attended school “just across
the road, where I met my hus
| band,” and she also made her
I profession of faith at Salem.
"Why T remember when we
used to have a boy here who
did nothing afl dav long but
carry water from the spring
across the road for the campers,”
’ says Mrs. Ramsey.
SAWDUST AND SHAVINGS
"Mrs. Ramsey, unlike so many
j elderly persons, doesn’t live in
the past, wishing for those “by-
' gone days.’’ In fact, she says,
I “Goodness no, I wouldn’t go
j back to the past for anything;
■ I like all these conveniences
' that make life easier.”
“One old-fashioned custom to
. which Mrs. Ramsey and her
: brood cling is the spreading of
I sawdust and shavings on the
i old dirt floor of the cabin.
“Mrs. Ramsey feels that it's
“more like camp meeting to
have the shavings. Many folks
have built cabins with wood
floors, but I still like the saw
dust.”
“Besides,” adds one grand
daughter, "you don’t have to
sweep.”
"Mrs. Ramsey can still re-
from 6 to 8 p.m.
The barbeque will precede the
first home football game, which
begins at 8 o’clock. The game will
■ be played between the Newton
; High Rams and Avondale Estates
High School, and will be played
on the new athletic field.
The proceeds will be used by
the D. C. T. Club to carry out
the club program of work for
the school year 1956-57. This
year’s program of work includes
services to the club, the high
school, civic and service organi
zations, and the county.
Tickets may be purchased from
any member of the D.C.T. Club,
and club advisor Mark L. Davis.
In order for the club to more ac
curately determine the amount of
food to prepare, those desiring to
attend are requested to purchase
their tickets in advance. Adult
tickets $1.25 and children under
1 12, 75c.

member when the tabernacle
that stands at the center of the
“square horseshoe” of white,
brown, green and red cabins
was nothing but a frame and
boughs of trees were used to
shade the worshipers.
WOODEN PEGS
“Have you seen the taber
nacle?” asks Mrs. Ramsey. “It
still has the same old hand-hewn
rafters put together with wood
en pegs that were used when
it was built in 1826.”
“Mrs. Ramsey’s cabin also has
many of the original hand-hewn
timbers which were used when
her grandfather built it.
“Mrs. Ramsey says that six
generations have used the old
cabin. Four generations were
represented at this year’s camp
meeting which closed Friday.
