DURHAM EDITOR
DIED FRIDAY
Charles Ramage, Father of Dr. Chas.
C. Ramage, Was Buried Sunday.
Charles Ramage, the veteran pub-*
lisher and editor of The Durham Re
view, died at his home in Durham on
Friday after a lengthy illness. He
was 87 years of age and was born
near Haddington, Scotland, where he
started to learn the printing trade at
14 years of age.
When he was 18 his family moved
to Canada and settled in Egreinont
Township, near Durham where young
Ramage farmed for a few years, and
then went back to big old love, print
ing. The first paper he worked on
was the Priceville Courier, but that
paper only lasted a few months, and
a short time afterwards Ramage went
to Collingwood and to school. He
entered the teaching profession, and
taught in Durham, but he always had
a liking for the newspaper business
and in 1894 he bought The Grey Re
view, later The Durham Review, and
had been its owner ever since.
He was prominent in civic life, hav
ing served thirty years on Public and
High School Boards, thirty-three
years as Secretary of Public School
Board, fifteen years as Division Court
Clerk, and a term as Secretary of the
South Grey Temperance Association.
In 1914 he unsuccessfully contested
South Grey as Liberal candidate for
the Provincial House.
He had long been a manager and
elder of Knox United Church, Dur
ham. Surviving are his widow and
a family of six: Peter, publisher of
Durham Veview, and Miss Alice at
home; Dr. Charles C., dentist, of Gor
rie; Mrs. R. J. McKnight, of Wain
fleet, Welland County; Arthur, pub
lisher of the Thornbury Review-Her
ald, and Harold, managing editor of
the Petrolia Advertiser-Topic.
The funeral service was held in
Knox United Church on Sunday and
was conducted by Rev. W. H. Smith.
Interment took place in Durham
Cemetery.
