Otis Ramsey was human, and
therefore made mistakes; he loved his
family and was loved by them; he was
a good neighbor, a good citizen and a
industrious man; "he lived beside the
road and was a friend of all mankind,"
and the final results of his life is shown
in the education and training of three
upstanding children whom this early in
life have each shown high ideals and
christian character. - A Friend.
