  Harrell Ramsey, son of Joe Ramsey of Mason, and formerly of Junction, was
accidentally killed in the engine room of a freighter while on the high seas,
Wednesday, May 19, according to a wireless dispatch from the ship.
  The freighter was within calling distance of Santiago, Cuba, and the body
was taken there where it was embalmed to be shipped home.  It will arrive
in Galveston on May 29.  Funeral arrangements are pending.
  Ramsey and Jack Lindsey, both of Mason, left home several days ago to
seek passage on a ship.  Lindsey secured passage on a freighter bound for
Baltimore and Harrell booked passage on a freighter for South America.
  Lewis Harrell Ramsey was born in Junction, Texas, February 4, 1915,
and lived here until about a year ago when he moved to Mason.  He attended
the Junction High School and was graduated with the class of 1932.  He was
a letter man on the Junction High School football team, and one of the most
popular students in his class.
  Fred Ramsey, brother of the deceased and Ramsey Randolph left for Mason
Wednesday night.  Ramsey returned last night and supplied the meagre
information which is known now concerning Harrell's tragic death.
