<DIV>Hello Pat: Ona Ramsdell aka Onnie aka Oneatta Elnora Ramsdell was
indeed the twelveth child of Thomas Manley Jr. and the first wife of my
grandfather, Guy Fitch Phelps, married 8 Sept 1897. Onnie was born 30 Jan
1872 Yaquina Bay, OR and died 17 May 1902 one day after giving birth to her only
child, daughter Naomi Oneatta Phelps. Onnie is buried in Lone Fir
Cemetery, Portland, Oregon. Her daughter, Naomi, never married and was my
mother's half-sister. Onnie was the youngest woman ever appointed captain
in the Salvation Army.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to the Ramsdell family I do have several photos of Onnie in her
Salvation Army uniform. Photos of Onnie and information on her was also
provided to the Metropolitan Pioneer Office.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Onnie's half-brother and half-sisters are all deceased. Of the
six nieces of Naomi, four are still living. I am one of the four.
Should you wish to send me the photo, please contact me personally for mailing
info.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
