My father managed the property during the 20 years after Mother Delia’s death, renting it out to tenants and paying taxes. William (Willie) “Boss” Ramsey suddenly died intestate on June 25, 1933. His wife, Delia McPherson Ramsey, continued to live on the land until her death on January 24, 1957. On September 27, 1907, Willie Ramsey received his land patent, Final Certificate No. His homestead was approved on April 30, 1907. They gave similar responses as Boss to the same questions.īoss then signed the FINAL AFFIDAVIT REQUIRED OF HOMESTEAD CLAIMANTS and paid $1.60 in commissions and fees at the final proof. George Smith, age 65, and Bill Howell, age 56, were the two witnesses that appeared in person with Boss at the final proof. Confirmed he never sold, conveyed or mortgaged any portion of the land. ![]()
