I would love to have a photo of Ona Ramsdell in her Salvation Army uniform.
Do I need to send payment for the print? Postage? Will there be permission
to publish and credits? Please advise. Connie Guardino

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. 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. 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. Nancy Hemstreet
