Katie Ramer of Indiana

antuulien — 2013-04-25 13:54:02Z

Hi there,

I'm trying to locate information on a Katie Ramer and her husband, Henry Parker. Henry is said to be of German and Irish ancestry. They had a daughter named Nancy Agnes Parker, born in 1825 in Dearborn County, Indiana. Nancy married a David Whetstone of Ohio, born in 1821, and later moved to Winona, Minnesota.

I appreciate any help.

Charlie Ramer

marcusmauney — 2012-10-23 20:13:45Z

I'm searching for any information on a Charlie Ramer. The only evidence I have of him is on the 1920 Census in Coldwell, White, Arkansas. He was 5 years old at the time and listed as a step-son, born in Missouri. John Anderson is listed as head of the household, and Nora Anderson is who I assume is his mother. Nora Anderson's parents are listed as both being from Germany, and she was born in Arkansas. There are two other John/Nora Andersons in households located in TN and TX that do not match this family and have lead to some incorrect research. I've been unable to locate any other evidence of Charlie other than a older family member who remembers "a little Ramer boy who disappeared". If anyone has any information on Charlie Ramer, Missouri Ramers, or Nora's maiden name I would greatly appreciate it. Help solve a long standing family mystery!

Ramer/Williams marriage

Ramer (??) / Starr

themeyers4 — 2012-07-14 15:30:59Z

I have been attempting to trace - when time and budget permits - my Starr ancestry.

Researching my great-grandparents; know very little, but here is what I have . . .

GREAT-GRANDFATHER:
William Ellsworth Starr (Based off what I grew up hearing and what was listed on both my grandmother’s and uncle’s social security application)
b. about 1888, Pennsylvania
d. Unknown

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER:
Eva Elizabeth Ramer (Based off what I grew up hearing and what was listed on my grandmother’s social security application)
b. 24 January 1889, Hopendauqua, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (information based on what is recorded on her death certificate)
d. 5 January 1959, Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (information from her death certificate)

CHILDREN
William Ellsworth Starr (William’s [Sr’s] son from 1st marriage)

Robert Charles Starr (William’s son from 1st marriage)
b. 15 May 1910, Pottsville, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania
d. 3 June 1992, Sellersville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania

Catherine Louise Starr
b. 1 December 1912, Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania
d. 11 November 1975, Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania

Catherine was the daughter of William E. [Sr] and Eva’s [nee Ramer] Starr (parentage information taken from Catherine’s (my grandmother’s) social security application and what my mother (Catherine’s daughter) knew, having grown up with her grandparents.

Recently however, the information I have about my Great-Grandmother Eva has become quite murky. While I believe that the information I have on her maiden name is correct, I am no longer 100% sure. Recently, I located an obituary for my Uncle (Robert Charles Starr) indicating that he was the son of the late William E. and Eva E. (Milheim) Starr. The obit was written by his daughter (my cousin).

Now, I have always known that my grandmother’s 2 brothers were half-brothers (I never heard, nor were we ever told, the name of their mother); however, while it is possible that my great-grandfather married two women with the same first name and middle initial, I tend to question it. When I spoke to my cousin, she didn’t seem able to provide where her information came from. So, am I dealing with 2 Eva E.’s with different last names? Did my cousin mistakenly list Eva E. (my great-grandmother) in the obit, but provide the correct maiden name of William [Sr’s] first wife and my Uncle’s mother? Not sure. So I requested a copy of my uncle’s social security application hoping that, that would clear up the confusion; not so much. Instead, what I found was another (completely different entirely) name listed as his mother – Ethel Lynda Kline.

So what I have is 2 different names listed as my uncle’s mother and a 3rd name listed for my grandmother. I have now request a copy of my Uncle William E. [Jr’s] social security application and my Uncle Robert’s birth certificate. Hopefully that will address and clear up the confusion.

NOTE: I have requested a copy of my grandmother’s birth certificate on 2 separate occasions; when filling out the application to request a copy from vital records, I provided her social security number as well as her parents names (what I believed to be correct at the time) and BOTH times a birth certificate was mailed and both parent’s names were wrong. The birth certificate(s) that I was sent listed my grandmother’s father as William P. (vice E.) Starr and her mother’s maiden name as Eva Paff (vice Ramer).

Any suggestions on what else I can do; where else to research, to try to definitively determine my great-grandmother’s maiden name? As I said, I am inclined to go with what is on my great-grandmother’s death certificate and what my grandmother provided as her mother’s name on her social security application. I have attempted to search for something on my great-grandmother in the social security index but didn’t find anything on Eva or William [Sr].

IF Eva E. Ramer is the ‘correct’ maiden name of my great-grandmother, I may have ‘found’ her parents, Oscar Ramer and Louisa H. (maiden name currently unknown), BUT, I am not willing to take that leap until I have determined my great-grandmother’s correct maiden name. Ugh! I am so confused at this point, and no other family member is able to shed any light on this.

Any help, suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mrs. L.F. Ramer, Marshalltown, IA

Danamanian — 2011-03-23 05:00:09Z

Hello, I'm trying to find out what happened to my half-brother's mother. Her maiden name was Eleanor A. Shockley. Married Clyde E. Miller on May 10, 1939 in Ordway, CO. They had a son, Carol Ray Miller (name later changed to Ray Miller)on February 21,1940. The next thing I heard, she had remarried, and was known as Mrs. L.F. Ramer, in Marshalltown, IA, on April 16, 1945. I believe that he had been in the Army or Air Force, and that they moved frequently because of his job in road construction. I hope to find his name and also what happened to her. Any help you could give would be appreciated very much.

RAMER, GEORGE HENRY - Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient KOREA WAR *

jasche — 2007-03-07 04:09:16Z

RAMER, GEORGE H.

Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Company I, 3d Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.). Place and date: Korea, 12 September 1951. Entered service at: Lewisburg, Pa. Born: 27 March 1927, Meyersdale, Pa. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as leader of the 3d Platoon in Company I, in action against enemy aggressor forces. Ordered to attack and seize hostile positions atop a hall, vigorously defended by well-entrenched enemy forces delivering massed small-arms mortar, and machine gun fire, 2d Lt. Ramer fearlessly led his men up the steep slopes and although he and the majority of his unit were wounded during the ascent, boldly continued to spearhead the assault. With the terrain becoming more precipitous near the summit and the climb more perilous as the hostile forces added grenades to the devastating hail of fire, he staunchly carried the attack to the top, personally annihilated 1 enemy bunker with grenade and carbine fire and captured the objective with his remaining 8 men. Unable to hold the position against an immediate, overwhelming hostile counterattack, he ordered his group to withdraw and single-handedly fought the enemy to furnish cover for his men and for the evacuation of 3 fatally wounded marines. Severely wounded a second time, 2d Lt. Ramer refused aid when his men returned to help him and, after ordering them to seek shelter, courageously manned his post until the hostile troops overran his position and he fell mortally wounded. His indomitable fighting spirit, inspiring leadership and unselfish concern for others in the face of death, reflect the highest credit upon 2d Lt. Ramer and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Emma Berry Tiffany (1866-1944), Descendent of Sarah Ramer Houseworth

noodleandbear — 2008-07-11 13:11:22Z

I have been trying to piece together the puzzle of my great-great grandmother's life. Her name was Sallie Emma Berry (called Emma) and she was born on 24 August 1866 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., Virginia (now W. Virginia).

Her parents were James W. Berry (b. abt 1834; Hardy Co, Virginia) and Mary Virginia Houseworth (b. 15 Apr 1834; Hardy Co, Virginia; d. 7 May 1877; Martinsberg, Berkeley Co., W. Virginia).

They were married around 1861 and had 5 children:

Isaac D. (b. 1862)
William Ramer (b. 1864)
Sallie Emma (1866-1944)
John A (1868-1936)
Ward (b. 1874)

In the 1870 Census, Emma Berry is listed with her family and was living in Martinsburg, Co. Berkeley, W. Virgina. However, in the 1880 Census, Emma Berry is listed as living with her aunt and uncle - John and Mary Houseworth. John Houseworth was the brother of Mary Virginia Houseworth Berry, Emma's mother. In this Census, Emma Berry is listed as a daughter of the house.

What I'm trying to find out is what happened to her parents and siblings. I'm thinking that it was a serious illness that wiped out most of the family, but not serious enough to make the papers, as I can't find anything there. Scarlet fever? Measles?

Through cemetary records, I can confirm that Mary Virginia Houseworth Berry died on 7 May 1877. Of their children, I can only trace two of them.

John A. Berry married Emma M. Rofinot (b. 1874) around 1895 and they had one son, Eugene (b. 1896). John Berry died 25 June 1936 in Chicago.

Sallie Emma Berry married Luther Scott Tiffany on 9 July 1889 in Martinsburg, Co. Berkeley, W. Virginia. They immediately departed for Chicago, IL and lived there until their deaths.

James W. Berry (b. 1834) simply vanished. I can find no records of him anywhere. If Sallie Emma was 'adopted' by the Houseworth family, I'm wondering if James W. left to find work, as he would not be able to care for his family himself, given the times. The three remaining children have disappeared also.

Her grandparents were Isaac Houseworth (1807-1886) and Sarah Ramer (1806-1884). Great-grandparents were Frederick Randolph Ramer (1779-1862) and Elizabeth C. Smith (1777-1852).

Emma Berry and Luther Scott Tiffany had 4 children, one of them a son called Ramer Tiffany (1896-1967). My line comes down from their daughter, Ruth ((1894-1968).

I'm very interested in solving the puzzle of this branch of my family. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Sarah Tiffany

TiffanyDawnRamer — 2006-12-27 18:40:59Z

I've been attempting to research my family's ancestry for months, but all I seem to learn about Ramers is that most of them are in Pennsylvania and Arkansas. My parents and grandparents have always been west coast folk to my knowledge. I'm not sure about my great grandparents. My grandfathers name is George Ramer, and his wife is Joanne Ramer. I know I had a great grandmother named Salisbury(sp?) because I remember going to her funeral as a child. My father is David Wayne Ramer, and mother Nancy Elizabeth Dinges(formerly Ramer until their divorce). My father once visited a second cousin of his in New York when he was there on business. If anyone has any information at all I would love to hear from you. Thank you so much.

John son of Jim RAMER mar. about 1800, wife Elizabeth LAMBERT, father John Alen. Dutch, came to U.S. before Civil War. Jim made shoes for the "Army boys". Elizabeth is on the 1830 Census, McNairy TN Page 133. Town of Ramer, TN is named after them. The siblings of John's I have are: Elizabeth, Rowyork (Roark), Felix, Sam, and John. Elizabeth (daughter) died in 1904, born about 1820. John's wife may have been Mary E., daughter of James MONTGOMERY, orig. from NC, but residing in McNairy or Hardeman Counties early to mid 1800s. He died in one of the counties approx. March 1843. Mary was born in TN circa 1818.

Two other persons are working on this line is at this e-mail, Anna Adams at virtualhorizon@cs.com. and/or June Raimer Poole at JuneRP56@aol.com. At least they were earlier.

I would be happy to share any information with you, as I get it.

Good luck. Bobbie

Anyway the records are kept by the sand springs home trust authority, in the home office's in downtown Sand Springs. I will look for the address if you are still looking, I know it has been some time since you posted this. I am not sure what they might have for you but I found them helpful.

RAMER RÖMER ROEMER RAYMER Family DNA Project

JohnHRamer — 2006-12-12 03:35:49Z

As a RAMER/RÖMER/RAYMER family researcher for nearly 40 years, I have been very aware of the five major lines carrying these names that were in PA prior to 1750, as well as significant lines in N.C. and KY that are thought to be somehow connected to these lines. To my knowledge no one has yet been able to demonstrate any relationship between any of these lines.

Further, as a researcher focused on the line of Philip RÖMER who immigrated on the ship Friendship of Bristol on 16 Oct 1727, I am unaware of anyone who has convincingly tied any of those lines back to their European sources.
We are anticipating such an effort in Europe starting this year.

Therefore, I am excited to report that we have initiated a DNA study with the intent of determining relationships, if any, between the 7 domestic lines mentioned as well as between any of them and lines in Switzerland and Germany.

We need at least one male direct descendant of each of these lines to partipate. A second participant would be fairly valuable as well.

Additional participants, whether with a proven relationship to any of these lines, or of a line not yet known to be related to any of the above are also welcomed.

Please contact me directly at: JohnRamer@sbcglobal.net for more details.

An immense amount of information could be generated if we all work together.

George Henry Ramer

HWeigle — 2010-05-28 21:44:50Z

I am working on an article about Congressional Medal of Honor (CMoH) recipients with ties to Somerset Co, PA. George Henry Ramer(27 Mar 1927 - 12 Sep 1951), born in Meyersdale, PA, is one of those individuals. However, I have found very little information on him and his wife. I believe her maiden name is Jeanne Grice, but am not sure of her last name. Any information that anyone can provide about George and his wife will be greatly appreciated.

Peter Hoover Ramer, 1869-1960, Ontario, Canada

orillia319 — 2006-09-21 02:19:23Z

Is anyone researching Peter Hoover Ramer or his family? He's of interest to me primarily because he married one of my grandfather's cousins, Irma Blanche Porteous, 28 Nov 1931. The wedding would have taken place in Prince Albert or possibly Port Perry, Ontario, both of which are located in what was once known as Reach Township, Ontario County, Ontario.

I'd like to know whether they might have had any children, or grandchildren. I'd be interested in learning more about Peter and Irma from any descendants.

Thanks.
