John S Ford was born near Sand Springs Missionary Baptist Church in the 5th district of Putnam county September 5, 1871. After a lingering illness of about 5 years, he died at his home in the Post Oak community Sunday evening, July 10, 1932. He was a son of the Rev Willie Ford, a minister in the Missionary Baptist Church. The Rev Ford moved to this community with his family in 1888 and after living there 3 or 4 years, moved back to his old home, but John remained in this community and had made it his home ever since.

On April 8, 1894 he was married to Miss Oma Phy, and to this union 3 daughters were born, 2 of them are still alive. The oldest daughter, Miss Lou Ella, having died last January.

Brother Ford was a man of strong character and resolute will, always taking his stand on the side of the right, and for any cause that was for the good of the community. In every way it could be said of him that he was a good citizen. For that reason, his council was sought by individuals, the church and the community, for he was wise in his council and fair in his judgments. Because of his fitness as a good citizen, the 15th district of Putnam honored him by electing him a Justice of the Peace and a member of the quarterly court from 1924 to 1930. Had it not been for failing health he would have been elected for the 2nd term.

At a very early age he joined the Sand Springs Church; it was the faith of his father and he lived it throughout his life, but while he kept his membership at Sand Springs, he attended and worked in the Post Oak Presbyterian Church.

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Mrs Oma Ford; 2 daughters, Miss Jane Ford and Mrs H E Phillips of Cookeville; 1 brother, Sam A; 1 half-brother, 3 half-sisters, a step-mother, all of Lovejoy.

Christine, always the independent and resourceful individual, continued to make a living for herself through her skills as an expert seamstress.

Christine did alterations and other sewing work until she was 89 years of age for businesses, schools, and individuals throughout Anderson County.

Wilburn Phy of Algood, employee of Eller Olsen Construction Company, was instantly killed about 7 o'clock this morning when a mixing hopper suddenly crashed to the ground, pinning him underneath.

The hopper, consisting of a huge bin which holds nearly a railway car full of sand and gravel, was thought to have fallen due to settling of the ground after the heavy rain during the past few days. There was terrible strain on the steel structure supporting the bin which was fully loaded with sand and gravel, and was thought to have caused the support to give way.

According to witnesses, Wilburn Phy was standing on a platform underneath the bin weighing sand and gravel when it gave way. [section redacted] The equipment was being used to mix road material and load it on trucks.

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Randolph Phy Davis, one sister, Miss Ruthie Mae Phy of Algood; and 3 brothers, Elder Allen Phy of Glasgow; Tim and Rastus Phy of Algood.

COOKEVILLE — Albert Phillips Ramsey Sr., 90, of Cookeville, Tennessee, passed away Friday, April 17, 2020, at Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County in Algood, Tennessee.

Mr. Ramsey was born Aug. 16, 1929, in Algood, Tennessee, to the late Robert Dewey Sr., and Byrnie Louella (Phillips) Ramsey. He was the fourth of eight children, and named after his paternal grandfather.

Due to the current pandemic, there will be no public visitation or funeral.

A private graveside ceremony, for his immediate family only, will occur on Monday, April 20, at Phillips Cemetery in Putnam County. A celebration of Albert's life will be scheduled for his friends and extended family at a future date.

Mr. Ramsey joined the U.S. Navy after completing high school in 1948. After completing his basic training at Great Lake, Illinois, Mr. Ramsey was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, the Philippine Islands and at NAS Millington, Tennessee, prior to completing his service in 1955.

Mr. Ramsey married Fannie Ruth Buck in 1954, and they had five children. They remained happily married for 47 years before her passing on Nov. 14, 2001.

Mr. Ramsey married Gloria Annette Roberts Harp in 2007. The couple had just celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary.

The son of a carpenter, Mr. Ramsey worked with his father and uncles, building several houses in and around Cookeville. In 1960, Mr. Ramsey purchased and operated the Trailways Bus Station just off the square behind the old Maddux Hardware Store. In the 1980s, Mr. Ramsey built a new building on Palkway Drive, adding the Greyhound Bus lines. At its busiest time, it was common to see 12-14 buses stop throughout the day as they ran their schedules. Mr. Ramsey and his son also started a pickup and delivery service that delivered packages that had arrived by bus throughout the community for nearly 20 years. In 2013, Mr. Ramsey "officially" retired at the age of 83, after 52 years of serving the community.

As a licensed pilot, Mr. Ramsey owned and flew several private planes at the Cookeville airport before its closing. In 1975, Mr. Ramsey purchased his first Corvair which started a new passion that lasted nearly 45 years. Mr. Ramsey was always one to stay busy. When he wasn't working at the bus station, he could be found on his 30-acre farm tending to his garden, cutting firewood or tinkering with his car collection.

He was a longtime member of Washington Avenue Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and usher during his 40 plus years as an active member.

After retiring, Mr. Ramsey could be found at one of many breakfast joints around town reminiscing with his friends, playing Domino's or spending time with his siblings and his family.

He is survived by his wife, Gloria Annette Roberts Harp Ramsey; and was the proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather to his five children and their spouses, Becky (Gary) Carwile, Phil (Yolanda) Ramsey, Cathy (Wayne) Lush, Judy (Tracy) Davis and Jeff (Cindy) Ramsey; 10 grandchildren, Rachel (Brandon) McDonald, Josh (Emily) Carwile, Erin Carwile, Dakota (Carter) Watson, Cierra Ramsey, Justin (Hannah) Davis, (Alyssa) Davis, Jared Davis, Kierston (Tyler) Lannom and Peyton Bible; 12 great-grandchildren, Emilee, Natalee and Cloee McDonald, Lucy and Ezra Carwile, Livie Carter, Emma Grace, Benjamin and Alva Beth Davis, Zoie and Mazie Lannom, Raylon Crosslin and one more arriving later this year; his siblings and their spouses, Juanita Bilyeu, John (Michelle) Ramsey, Frank Ramsey and Mary (Grover) Bennett; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Fannie Ruth Buck Ramsey; his sister and brother-in-law, Sarah Martha Ramsey Eldridge and Carley D. Eldridge; his brother and sister-in-law, Robert Dewey Ramsey and Bobbie Mai Manning Ramsey; brother-in-law, Charles Bilyeu; brother and sister-in-law, Glenn Harold Ramsey and Jane Ann Holloway Ramsey; sisters-in-law, Alma Mae Merck Ramsey and Georgea Fay Merck Mixon Ramsey.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Washington Avenue Baptist Church Benevolence Fund or the Phillips Cemetery Trust Fund.

Hooper-Huddleston & Horner Funeral Home in Cookeville is in charge of arrangements, 526-6111.

Name of parent, guardian or next of kin of female: Roger Manning, Cookeville, TN).

A member of “The Greatest Generation,” he served 39 months during World War II in the Army Air Corps and Army Corp of Engineers, including graduating from Engineer Officers Candidate School (OCS).

He married the love of his life, Bobbie Mai Manning, and the couple shared a journey spanning almost 72 years before she died Nov. 29, 2017. Their adventures include raising six children, all of whom are college graduates.

Mr. Ramsey continued his military service in the Tennessee National Guard and the Army Reserves. He retired a Major, AUS (Army of the United States).

He attended Tennessee Technological University (TTU), graduating in 1949 with a B.S.C.E. He taught Civil Engineering at TTU from 1949-1951.

Mr. Ramsey worked nine years as Chief Structural and Civil Engineer, Corps of Engineers, at Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, Tenn., before joining NASA in 1960 at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. As Facilities Engineering Manager and Chief Facilities Engineering Division Manager at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., Mr. Ramsey turned his focus to helping achieve the United States’ dream of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely within a decade deadline set by President John F. Kennedy. During his 13-year career at NASA, Mr. Ramsey worked on the Saturn, Apollo, and Space Shuttle facilities. He helped put a man on the moon as Project Manager with oversight for the F1C Rocket Test Stand. This rocket propelled the Apollo space craft on its historic flight to the moon. He studied “Liquid Hyrdrogen Production” under Dr. James McCall, personal assistant to legendary rocket scientist Dr. Werner von Braun, and was assigned responsibility for the production and storage of the country’s adequate liquid hydrogen supply to fuel the rockets. He oversaw and built two more test production facilitator stands where the massive rockets were rigorously and routinely tested.

The surrounding community immediately knew NASA’s rocket testing was occurring when the familiar loud roaring spread through the air, buildings shook, and the windows rattled, (something more common than the Sequoyah Test Sirens in the Chattanooga community). After leaving NASA, Mr. Ramsey moved to Atlanta for four years where he was Engineer Manager for Peachtree Corners in Gwinnett County and worked with consultants tasked with designing and developing the Atlanta Rapid Transit System (MARTA). From Atlanta, Mr. Ramsey moved back to his beloved Tennessee, settling in Chattanooga and resuming another love of his life, teaching. He completed his professional career at Chattanooga State Technology Community College as an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering Technology from 1977 until his final retirement in 1985.

He and his late wife were members of Hixson United Methodist Church for over 40 years, serving on many church boards, regularly attending services and Sunday School in the Sammy Gooden Sunday School Class. They traveled with the “XYZ’s” (Xtra Years of Zest) group as their health allowed. Mr. Ramsey achieved many honors and participated in professional associations including: Professional Engineer; Life Member National Society of Professional Engineers; Fellow and Life Member, American Society of Civil Engineers.

He was preceded in death by his late wife, Bobbie M. Manning Ramsey; his parents, Dewey and Byrnie Ramsey; his sister, Sarah Martha Ramsey Eldridge; his brother, Glenn Harold Ramsey; and several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. He is survived by children and spouses Robert “Bob” (Sandra) Ramsey, James “Jim” (Vickie) Ramsey, Nancy (Brian) Robertson, Sarah (Jimi) Townsend, Ellen Ramsey, and Margaret Ramsey; 12 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren (with two more arriving later this year); his late wife’s youngest sister, Peggy Fowler; his siblings, Juanita Bilyeu, Albert Ramsey, John Ramsey, Frank Ramsey, and Mary Bennett; and their spouses; and many nieces and nephews.

Witnesses’ Views on Sells’ Sanity Vary By Doyle Howard: Tennessean State Correspondent

COOKEVILLE, TN – Witnesses who had close relationships with Larry Ray Sells, 17, gave conflicting testimony yesterday about his mental capability to confer with counsel in his own defense. Defense witnesses described Sells as above average scholastically and a model prisoner at the state Training School for Boys at Jordonia, but said he would “clam up” when the subjects of women and sex were mentioned.

Witnesses for the state said, however, that they found nothing unusual about the youth’s reaction to women and sex.

Under examination by court-appointed defense attorneys, Elmer Dean Langford and Richard Mitchell of Cookeville, defense witnesses concluded that Sells could not advise in his own defense.

The defense is seeking to establish that Sells is normal in many areas but insane in others, including matters of women and sex.

Should the Putnam County Circuit court jury of 10 men and two women reach the conclusion that Sells is presently insane, he would be committed to the maximum security unit at Central State Hospital, Nashville, until he is found competent enough to stand trial.

The Cookeville Youth is under indictment facing charges of kidnapping, raping, robbing and assaulting Mrs. Helen Jean Boling of Frankin, TN, an employee at Jordonia, whom Sells forced to accompany him from Jordonia last October at knifepoint.

He was serving the juvenile portion of a 15-year sentence for second-degree murder of a Cookeville secretary, Mrs. Barbara Faye Ramsey Renfro, whom Sells was convicted of stabbing to death at a Cookeville intersection in 1966.

Barry Irwin, a guidance counselor at Jordonia, said Sells was “a difficult person to understand” and that he sought to have the youth sent to Central State for psychiatric care within the week of his escape from the school.

Irwin termed Sells as a “schizophrenic psychotic” who has “something repressed in the mind and capable of committing a crime the second time.” He said he had tried on numerous occasions to talk to Sells about girls and that the youth refused. He said Sells once told him: “ I don’t want to talk about that. Girls get you into trouble.”

Irwin said that in his opinion Sells “tried to blank from his mind” events surrounding the death of Mrs. Renfro and that he refused to recall them.

A deposition was read into the court record from Dr. Virginia Kirk, a clinical psychologist at Vanderbilt Hospital, who said she had the feeling that some kin of hostility was part of the outlook in Sells’ life and had been with him for a long time.

“Because of this he had acute, aggressive periods in his life when he would do things that he would not do otherwise. This made him a mentally ill person who needed treatment,” she said in the deposition.

Dr. Kirk said a person afflicted with such an illness “is subject to repeat such aggressive acts over and over again.”

A Nashville man who taught Bible school for three years at Jordonia testified that he did not believe Sells could consult intelligently with his lawyers.

John P. Leeson II, a representative of Gideon International, said Sells was always in class but “I never got through to him.”

He said Sells had an “absolute, impregnable block to the scriptures.” When the conversation turned to women and sex, Leeson said, the youth would “giggle and turn off and sometimes clam up.”

David a Davis, supervisor of the receiving center at Jordonia, said Sells was a “typical average young fellow at school” and was allowed to supervise younger boys as they came into the school.

Davis said he would take Sells and some of the younger boys to the races at fairgrounds in Nashville and that at time, Sells would be out of his sight as Sells supervised the younger boys.

He said he trusted Sells “completely” and that on several occasions, Sells was allowed to leave Jordania on Saturdays with his parents to go into Nashville.

Charles DeArk, principal of the vocational school of Jodania, said Sells was “above average in his studies” and would have earned his high school diploma either this spring or summer.

Vick, Jeff: Jeff Vick Dead. The friends of Jeff Vick will be surprised to learn of his death, which occurred at his home three miles north of this place Tuesday afternoon. He was only ill for a few days with pneumonia. Mr. Vick was well known to our people, and be it said to his memory, that none knew any small thing about the man. He was honest and upright in all his dealings. He was a kind hearted, good natured Christian gentleman, industrious and frugal. He made a good living and harmed no one. Such men are truly a benefit to a community. We deplore his loss, and desire to add our most profound regrets at his untimely end. [Date: 11/10/1898, Vol. XII, No. 6, Page 5] THE COOKEVILLE PRESS.

Robartus “R” Vick Obt. b. 18 May 1821, Guilford Co., NC – d. 11 July 1886, Putnam Co., TN, (COB 28 Tenn Inf CSA), md Keziah (Matheny) Vick, b. 13 July 1821, Roane Co., TN – d. 10 November 1899, Putnam Co., TN, d/o Samuel Davis Matheny & Scythia Grimsley. Robartus Vick, s/o Nathan & Elizabeth Vick.

Born in Guilford County, NC. Came to Jackson County, TN with his parents Nathan and Elizabeth Vick.

He enlisted in the Confederate Army in two regiments. The first enlistment was with the 28 Tennessee Infantry on September 7, 1861 at Camp Zollicoffer I believe in Livingston, TN. He fought at Mill Springs, KY and at the famous Battle of Shiloh at the Peach Orchard. Shortly after the battle of Shiloh he was discharged on May 16, 1862 in Corinth, MS. His son Nathan Grimsley Vick enlisted into the 13th Tennessee Cavalry (Gore's) on August 2, 1862. On September 1, 1862 in Cookeville, TN a man named R. Vick joined the 13th TN Cavalry (Gore's). I am confident this is Robartus who would have reenlisted to fight alongside his son Nathan. Both father and son went on General Forrest's West TN Raid in December of 1862. While on the raid in Clarksburg, TN in Carroll County Nathan was shot by Union troops inside a house.

Nathan's grandparents Nathan and Elizabeth Vick had moved to Carroll County in the 1850's but his grandpa had already died by the war. Nathan was seriously wounded and got on his horse and went to his grandma's house about ten miles away where he was nursed back to health. Nathan did not return for duty because of his wound and stayed in Carroll County for the rest of his life. Nathan wound affected him greatly throughout the rest of his life. It is not know what had happened to Nathan's dad Robartis whether he stayed in service after his son Nathan was wounded. After the war Robartis returned to Cookeville while his son Nathan stayed in Carroll County, TN with his grandma Elizabeth and his two aunts (Mary, Lizzie) and uncle (John). (Bio: findagrave).

Born in Guilford County, NC. Came to Jackson County, TN with his parents Nathan and Elizabeth Vick between 1830-1840. He enlisted in the Confederate Army into two regiments at different time periods. The first enlistment was with the 28th Tennessee Infantry on September 7, 1861 at Camp Zollicoffer just outside Livingston, TN. He fought at Mill Springs, KY near Somerset in 1861. Robartus also participated in the Battle of Shiloh on April 6-7, 1862 near Savannah, TN. On the first day of battle he fought at the Peach Orchard. The second day of battle he fought near the Sunken Rd. Shortly after the battle of Shiloh he was discharged on May 16, 1862 in Corinth, MS.His son Nathan Grimsley Vick enlisted into the 13th Tennessee Cavalry (Gore's) on August 2, 1862. On September 1, 1862 Robartus enlisted again at Cookeville, TN into the 13th Tennessee Cavaly (Gore's) but this time to fight alongside his son Nathan. Both Robartus and Nathan enlisted to fight during war. Very luckily both survived the war. They both fought with each other in battles like Parker's Crossroads, Chickamauga, Atlanta Campaign Battles, Sherman's March the the Sea Battles, and towards the end the battles in North and South Carolina. From April 11 to May 11 in 1865 both Robartus and Nathan were escort guards for CSA President Jefferson Davis from Greensboro, NC to Abbevillle, SC. After the end of the war Robartus returned to Cookeville and later died in 1866 and is buried here in Phillips Cemetery with his wife Keziah. His son Nathan went to Carroll County, TN after the war were his grandmother Elizabeth Vick lived (Robartis' mother). Nathan farmed and lived next door to his grandmother. Nathan stayed in Carroll County, TN and was buried in Chapel Hill Cemetery in Carroll County, TN. Robartus stayed in Putnam County, TN and died not long after the Civil War ended and he and his wife Keziah are buried in Phillips Cemetery near Cookeville, TN. (Bio.
