History as given by John G. Ramage - A Scotch lad and lassie, William M. Ramage and Margaret Cherrie Givens, my father and mother, left Edinbourgh, Scotland and went to Liverpool, England to sail for America in the year 1883, October 15, with our family of five, Thomas, William, Mary, Elizabeth, and John, John being a baby of two months (myself).
After arriving in America, two more children came into the family, my brother, Daniel, in Rich Hill, Pennsylvania and my sister, Margaret (or Maggie) in Rock Springs, Wyoming. We landed in New York on December 15th, 1883. We traveled on into Pennsylvania. We settled in Rich Hill, Fayette County. We lived here about three years. During this time we were converted to the Latter-Day-Saints Church and were baptized. In 1886 we went to Rock Springs, Wyoming, on our way to Utah.
My father was employed in Rock Springs as a mason. He died in the year 1888 of pneumonia. Mother moved on to Wayne County, Utah with the family in April 1890. While the family was in Mayfield, enroute to our home, mother visited the Manti Temple and had her and dad's endowment work done for them and the children sealed to them. Here, sister Lizzie was baptized.
Mrs. Issac Pierce, another Missionary's wife, came by team from Loa, Wayne County and moved our family the remaining distance by team to what is now known as Lyman. My mother and our family traveled by train to Nephi and then on into Wayne county by wagon. My mother and us children walked behind the wagon the entire distance (about seventy-five miles). The trip took about seven days. My mother carried our young baby sister, Maggie, who was only two years old, all the way. When located in Lyman, mother took her up a section of land to farm which is now referred to as the "William Peterson" farm, north of Loa. The family was confronted by every hardship that could possibly befall the early pioneers. Mother worked hard to raise all seven of us.
My brothers and sisters worked and my oldest sister, Mary, lived in with a family and worked there. Their name was Albert Stevens. She worked here for about seven years then in February 1899 she married Bennett Maxfield of Loa.
Later the family moved to Winter Quarters (Utah) so the older boys could find work in the mine. Here Mother met and married Richard Morgan. This is also where my oldest brother, Tom, married Christena Gilbert in the Manti Temple. The marriage took place the 4th of April and the 1st of May 1900 he was one of the fellows who was killed in the Schofield Mine explosion.
The second boy, Bill left for Idaho and later returned to Grass Valley and here married Mae Lipsey and they had no children. Later they were divorced. Then through the years, he met and married Della Alger, 23 May, 1918.
My mother and step-father moved to Sunnyside, Carbon County, Utah where a sister named Mabel was born.
Later the fourth child, Elizabeth, was married to John I. Evans in September of 1902, and lived in Castle Dale.
John, myself being the third son was married to Susannah Willstead on 23rd of November, 1904, in Castle Gate, Carbon County, Utah. We had a double wedding. My wife's sister, Dessa got married the same time. Her husband's name was Barney Bartlett.
Dan, the youngest son was married to Effie Stewart Covington in the year 1915.
Maggie, the baby of the family never married, as she was sick most of her life. She had leakage of the heart and dropsy which was caused from having Scarlet Fever. She died on the 16th of October, 1925.
Mother moved from Loa to Hurricane in the fall of 1918. Here mother raised lovely gardens, and all kind of fruits and grapes, also sugar cane and all kind of nuts. Mother worked hard all her life.
She died in Hurricane on the 22nd of December, 1928, of pneumonia and was also buried in Hurricane.
