I am now looking for any information on James Ira's father, Calvin Ramage, who was born in either Ohio or Illinois in April, 1852 or thereabouts.He married a Lila or Delilah Cobbler/Cobler in Iowa, and their first son, James Ira Ramage, was born in Iowa in 1876.They had two other children, Clarence Basil Ramage and Cleo Pearl Ramage.Calvin Ramage was alive and living with his brother-in-law Hugh Ramage in 1920; family lore says that he died in the Tulsa County Poorhouse around 1924.I have hit a dead end on Calvin's parents.Again, family lore says that the family came from England, but no idea how far back.If this sounds familiar to anyone, please get in touch!
