The Death of Judge E. C. Ramsay.
On Thursday morning, 18th inst,
Jn lge Elbert C. Ramsay was strick
en with paralysis at his home in
Midway. He survived in an un
eoncious condition until the follow
ing Tuesday morning when he cross
<?d the river and entered upon his
eternal rest. 11 is brother, Rev. \V
S. Hitiusav of Laurens county, ar
rived oi^ Saturday morning and
-was with him during his last hours,
His funeral took place at the fam
ily residence at 11 o’clock Wednes
day morning—his pastor, Rev. J. 1).
•Chapman, officiating. After the
reading of appropriate Scriptures,
Bulalt Land a favorite hymn of the
deceased, was sung sweetly and
tearfully, followed by prayer by
Uev. 1>. McQueen of tlse Presbyte
rian church. Rev. Mr. J. 1). Chap
man delivered a touchingly beauti
ful sermon, founded on the words—
"In my Father’s house are many
mansions, &c. After which the re-
'inains of the beloved son were bur
ied by his father and mother in
Midway cemetery. The pall-bear
ers were Messrs. 1). B. Sanford, T.
W. Turk, John M. Edwards, S. A.
Cook, H. P. Thomas and R. N. La
mar.
Judge Ramsay was about. 57 years
•of age. He came with his father,
the late R. H. Ramsay, to Midway
m his infancy, lie was educated in
the Academy of which his father
was the able and faithful principal,
and at Oglethorpe university. Af
ter he left school he went to Mew
York where he was engaged in the
Merchantile business for many
years. Returning to Georgia he lo
cated at Lagrange. The war com
ing on he entered the confederate
army, and gave his country four
years of faithful service. At the
■close of the war,he went to Meiieo,
but soon concluded that, after all,
there was no place like his beloved
Georgia. He returned to Lagrange
and married. A few years later at
the request of his father he return
ed to the old homestead at Midway,
where lie lias since been engaged
in farming. He was an intelligent
and useful citizen. For about 13
vears he was a member of the
Hoard of Education of Baldwin
county, and was judge of the coun
ty court for several years. He was
h faithful member of tlie Baptist
church, and Superintendent of the
Midway Sunday School for many
years. He was a man of strong
coiNdetions and his energy and will
power were quietly but (irmly ex
ercised in favor of the right and
duty and for the best interest of
humanity. He was always cheer
ful—took a hopeful view of the fu
ture. He never spoke ill of any one.
In fact he was an excellent Chris
tian gentleman— meeting all the
duties of man and citizen in a cheer
ful. quiet manner that commanded
the respect and good will of the
entire community. His sudden
■death brings heartfelt sorrow to
our whole people, and tin* * deepest
sympathy is felt for his invalid wife,
to whom he was a devoted hus
band.
Our school companions at Mid
way in the forties have mostly ac
complished their mission. Many
of them passed away in the bloom
of manhood. Those who remain,
■scattered here and there, are drop
ping from the busy scenes of life
and soon all he gone. Our friend
Eh Ramsay, who after ids wander
ings returned to his boyhood home,
to spend his matured manhood, a
noble example of upright living and
usefulness, was enabled to look for
ward to the time when lie slionld
rest in a chosen spot in the quiet
cemetery at Midway, not only with
out dread or apprehension, hilt
witli the full assurance of a blessed
immortality. When the boy* who
are left behind are called upon to
lie down and die may they too expe
rience a like blessed assurance.

general, continues to improve.

of the supreme Court of South Caro
lina, died at his home in Columbia on
the 30th, of heart disease.

erty passed into the hands of the
