Celebrate 50th
Anniversary
BY CARMELA WOODRUFF

say of White Oak Creek Road,
Celo, have had a two-fold
observance of their 50th
wedding anniversary. The
couple were honored at
receptions festivities in
both Yancey County and

afternoon, Yancey residents
celebrated the occasion at
Burnsville Presbyterian
Church.
At Berea, during Thanks
giving weekend, their son,
William, Dean of Berea
College; their son John, a
former resident of Yancey
County, an instructor at the
college and their daughter,
Patti (Mrs. Earl Todt of
Columbus, Ohio) were in
charge of a succession of
events enjoyed by several
hundred guests from all over
the United States, including a
group from Yancey County.
The Ramsays have another
son, Richard, in Mexico, and
twelve grandchildren. The
highlight of the occasion was
a formal banquet, followed by
a musical program and folk
dancing in costume, winding
up with a spectacular sword
dance by the Ramsay boys. A
few of those attending were
present at tfiefr wadding fifty
years ago. Hundreds of letters
depicting the dedicated lives
of the Ramsays were incor
porated into five volumes.
Although not born on
North Carolina soil, the
Ramsays since their arrival in
this area in 1962 have
contributed greatly to the
progress and quality of life of
Yancey County, receiving
numerous awards for their
achievements.

to be strong supporters of
Extension programs in Yan
cey. They have given unsel
fishly of their time and
resources in Agriculture,
