DR. HENRY RAMSEY
(1880-1955
Henry Dixon Ramsey was horn.:
Ill Sunilei Count.!. Janu?ij 'J 1,
< 1880, the first son of the late Mr.
-Bingley and- - Mrs;?-Alice?-Carter
Ramsey. His early youth w a s
assisting his father with the farm
and other duties required of an j
elder son in securing and main- j
taining a home for a fast grow;- j
ing family in the strenuous tlmp?.i
following the reconstruction per- j
iod.
This routine seemed important
enough for the ordinary youth of
that time hut Henry Dixon was no
ordinary"youth, "and he dreametTof
a life of service far greater than
that of his early father. He attend ~
' ed the local schools showing evidence
of ability far ahove the aver
age. Being of strict Christian family
he easily fell into the work.I
of the church and Sunday School.]
His father was Supt. of the Sun- I
day school for, many years and j
young, Henry, or "Dicky' as he ]
was affectionately known to his
family and close friends, was his I
constant companion and assistant
in the work of the church.
In early manhood he heard and j
accepted the call of his; Heavenly
Father to work in the vineyard of
the African Methodist Episcopal
-Church. But, he felt- his-need for
.. greater preparedness for this
greater commission, so he studied
" at Allen" "University, graduating
Doctor of Divinity. , ,
In the meantime he was united
in Holy matrimony to Miss Ella
1 Mac Taylor,?a bund?which has j
continued. over fifty-four years.!
This union was blessed with a
large and notable family.
Dr. Ramsey served the A. "M. E.
connection as pastor of many
churches, some of which are:
Allen Chapel, Pine Grove in Lancaster
District, White Hall and
Rock Hill Churches; Providence
. Church in the Newberry District;
Brown Chapel in the- Columbia
District and of course he served
? ?M8 own?beloved Orajige HHV
where his membership remained.
As Presiding Elder he served the
Columbia, Dillon, Wateree, and
Lancaster Districts, resigning only
when the condition of his health
made it impossible for him to
serve actively.
Dr. H. D. Ramsey was a man of
strong convictions. He spoke
frankly and acted fearlessly. His
-"word was his bond and his decisions
were the result of his own
contemplations. He was not one to
be led as slave, but he was always
ready to accept an honest opinion
if sincerely given. He was BIG j
enough to apologize when his !
frankness offended others. He :
loved his church and his duties in J
connection with it. He loved h i s j
family and was not too big to en- 1
joy a good joke and fun with '
them, as wfelljis the sterner busi- )
ness of guidance and discipline.
If he could take part in this ser- i
vice he would probably say: "I've
done my work, I've sung my song,
' I've done some good, I've done
some wrong: Now I shall go where
I belong. The Lord -has willed it
so. And so Good Night, I" take
my rest where sweet wild roses

Mrs. Naomi White of Sumter, Mrs.
Angeline Adams of Jersey City,

Mich., and Mrs. Ella E., Cabell,

and Mr. Willie Rapisey o f

nds is they do not qualify and
evail themselves * of the pro- n*

The language in the new aendment
would be so drawn, R
cplained the New Yorker, as to U
lint out that there would be no W
d whatsoever under the - pres- ? |
it Reams-Bailey* bill to ,,any ' m
hool system.
Powell made it plain, however,
at he <vas not willing to witn- V
aw his. first amendment bann- t'i
g all funds to school states - '
lat refuse to abide by the Su- ^
eme ! Court decisions, . unless f"
le Udall bill becomes law.
The ervil rights champion made
clear that he would not change
s tactics on the present aniend- J
ent unions tha Udall bill is re- t|
jrted out and passes both the
"du*str"and Senate before the
earns-Baily bill is voted on.
If this bill comes to the floor *
*r a vote, he would call on the
bite House to send a strong" ""
essuge io Congress urging that
le Uda.l hill he enacted p'rpmpt .
This, the Harelm Representave
"is in direct accord with the
?elings voiced by President
isenhower at his press confer- v
nee on .June 8, that he believed
lat nil anti-segregation nieasres
* should be concidered?by
lemsplves."
Unless the Udall bill is eonliered
immediately, Powell emhaislzed
that "he would- continue
> press with increasing vigor
ithin the committee that his^ ^
tendment should be a part of = j
le new legislation
"Without the Udall amendment
don't see how any loyal,

owell. k
"The Udall bill would accomlish
