Hicks Ancestors - Generation 4 - Mary Viola Hicks

Mary Viola 'Ola' Hicks was born 07 August 1890 in Hardin County, Tennessee, and died February 1937.

This is the only picture I have of Ola Hicks Ramelow. I'm going to assume these are her first three children - Edna, Hazel, and Edward.

Ola was the daughter of David Anderson Hicks and Belle Hindman.

Mary Viola Hicks married Edward Heinrich Ramelow 30 January 1910, Pulaski County, Arkansas, son of Maria Ramelowa. He was born 09 January 1873 in Stralsund, Germany, and died 02 March 1955 in Shelby County, Tennessee. (In the family records, this name was spelled and pronounced ROMALOW, but in all the official documents I can find it is Ramelow.)

I don't have any pictures of Edward Ramelow.

Children of Viola Hicks and Edward Ramelow (so far as I can determine) are:

i. Edna Evelyn Ramelow 1915-1995, married Joseph P. Buckman

ii. Hazel Ramelow 1917-1937, married Everett J. Williams

iii. Edward Ramelow 1919-????

iv. Harold George Ramelow 1923-1929

v. Juanita Velma Ramelow 1927-1999, married Johnson

vi. Harvey Ramelow 1928-1931

I cannot find any of them on FindAGrave except Edna.

Colony Cemetery

 Van Buren County, Arkansas

Her FindAGrave memorial does not give any information about her husband or any parents or siblings.

There is more than one Joseph P. Buckman on FindAGrave, but I think this one might be Edna's husband because the inscription wording is an exact match -- "FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN, LOVING WIFE AND MOTHER" and "FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN, LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER" -- even the fonts match. He is buried in Bassett Cemetery,

 Bassett, Mississippi County, Arkansas
