S. M. RAMSEY, of Section 34, Brinton township, Pottawatomie county, secured his present homestead here September 22, 1891. With a team and wagon he left his old home in Missouri on August 4, 1891, where he had lived for forty-six years and started for Oklahoma, and on September 22, 1891, from Capshaw Field, nine miles distant from here, he made the race for the choice claims of Pottawatomie county and secured his present homestead, where he has resided most of the time since. He was five weeks in making the journey and was accompanied by his daughter Florence and niece Laura Tarbox. His sister, Mrs. Mary H. Tarbox, and three of his children remained in Missouri until October 16, 1891, when his sister came to Oklahoma and filed on a claim adjoining that of Mr. Ramsey, after which she returned to Missouri and remained there until the spring of 1894, at intervals making trips to Oklahoma to comply with the law in holding her claim. Her daughter's farm joins Mr. Ramsey's on the north. Here Mr. Ramsey has since lived and labored with the exception of the time spent in Tecumseh to afford his children better educational advantages, and he conducted a meat market during his residence there.
