apoplexy. He had gone to the home of his son Harry that morning
and when about to leave was fatally stricken, death claiming him a few
minutes later. His passing caused a feeling of genuine regret
among his many friends, while his family is deeply grieved over his
loss. Deceased had been in apparent good health, despite his
advanced years, and had been about town daily up to the day of his
death. In fact he was about to start his annual rounds as
assessor for the city when the final summons reached him.
Russell T. Ramsdell was born in the state of Illinois on July 30, 1851,
moving with his parents to Houston, Minn., when a child, where he spent
his youth and young manhood. He was united in marriage with Ella

born, of whom Mrs. G. H. Ross of this city is the only surviving one,
four children preceding him to the grave at an early age. His
wife passed away on October 19, 1884.
In 1887 deceased was married a second time, to Eva Jo Edgbert at
Sumner, near Barron, Wis. Two children were born to this union,
being Mrs. Chas. Merha, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Lloyd, of Grand
Rapids, Minn. His second wife died in 1897.
He married his third wife, Lula Eby, at Barron on July 12, 1899.
To this union two sons were born, Harry and Robert, both of this
city.
Mr. Ramsdell was engaged in work as traveling salesman for many years,
coming to Spooner with his family in 1907 and engaging in the telephone
business for a number of years, being associated with his son-in-law,
G. H. Ross. Since disposing of his interests in that concern he
was engaged in different work, being employed as clerk at the Spooner
Hotel for a number of years. Last year he had charge of the
information booth in the city and had been retained for that position
this coming season.
Deceased was a member of Spooner Lodge F. & A. M., and R. A. M.
Possessing a bright and cheerful nature, his personality won for him
many friends. He also served as alderman during his residence
here.
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, final
arrangements having not been made at this time. Interment will
take place in Spooner cemetery.
Surviving relatives, besides his widow and children, are twelve
grandchildren and four grreat-grandchildren. He also leaves two
