B 24 Jul. 1897 LISTED AGE 2 1900 PIKE CENSUS D: M Mary Catherine Young
THE JENNINGS RAMEY FAMILY
Christian Jennings Ramey was born 24 Jul. 1897;
he married Mary Catherine Young 1 Jun. 1918. She was born 8 May
1896, the daughter of Christopher Young and Matilda Wurts.
Jennings states that there were five children living at home when
his mother died in 1908; they were Maudie, Italy, George, Jennings,
and Johnnie. Basil had returned home and was helping his mother
rear these brothers and sisters after his father's death (Basil
was divorced from his wife at this time). When his mother died,
the older brothers and sisters decided that these children were
too young to maintain a home. And so they were sent to live with
older members of the family who were married. In 1909, Italy was
married, and Maudie married soon afterwards. George, Jennings,
and Johnnie continued to live with brothers and sisters until
Jennings and Johnnie left Elkhorn City and George was married.
Jennings left Elkhorn City when he was a young boy and came to
Greenup County where he resided with his sister Vada Vance, and
attended the Wurtland School. As soon as he was old enough, he
started working for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company,
where he worked for several years. Then he worked for the E. I.
DuPont Company, and later for the King Powder Company for many
years. Jennings is now retired and resides in Wurtland.
