Adolf was born the son of Venanz & Anna Zelner Ramert. When he was 15 years of age he came to America with his parents. They came direct to Minnesota and remained in Mankato for one winter before continuing on to Nobles County where they located five miles southeast of Fulda. One brother, Frank, had come from Austria the preceding year. Adolf was one of a family of four girls and two boys of whom his sister, Theresa Meyer of Los Angeles, is the only surviving member.
Adolf was one of southwestern Minnesota's pioneers who saw the building of the railroad through this part of the state and also lived to see the Minnesota prairies become the present agricultural section with its wonderful production and pleasant farm homes. Adolf knew the toil and the planning which was necessary to be successful in those days. As a young man he worked in this section to help put through the Milwaukee road and also in the woods near Mankato, and in factories in Sheldon, IA, to get his start in life. His parents homesteaded in the area southeast of Fulda and there he had his first farming experience, which work he followed all his life until he retired from the farm in December 1920, and came to Fulda to live.
Adolf was married at Heron Lake on June 28, 1887 to Frances Pietsch. They were the parents of seven children, four girls and three boys.
Since coming to town Adolf has had time to enjoy his yard and read continuously; he enjoyed music and was himself an accordian player of no mean ability. He was a devout Catholic and attended as many of the services as possible. In late years as a recreation he spent many hours fishing in the Fulda lake, and one of his most recent shapshots was taken as he enjoyed himself on the lake bank close to his home. He had learned to pleasantly fill his hours and his death closed a long and busy life.
The winter of 1941 he spent with a sister in Los Angeles, and last August he decided he would like to spend the present winter there again, and left that month for the west. He had apparantly been perfectly well, but the morning of his death complained of a slight indigestion which, however, soon passed, and he went with his sister and brother-in-law into the yard. After some talk there they decided to return to the house, and on noticing that he had not accompanied them, looked to see why and found that he had collapsed and even before aid could be summoned he had passed away.
Adolf & Frances were the parents of Philomine (Frank J.) Kummeth, who preceded her father in death. The surviving children are Mary (Frank J.) Haberman, Anna (Herman J.) Haberman, Frances (Joe) Lammers, Adolph, William and Albert.
Adolf's siblings include Anna (Vincent) Meixner, Frank (Josepha) Ramert, Ferdinand (Rosa) Ramert, Theresa Holtz Rich Heyer & John (Adelheidt "Ella") Ramerth.
Funeral services were held from St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, Fulda, MN.
