RAMEY WATERFIELD, farmer, P. O. Higginsport, is a son of Samuel Waterfield, whose sketch appears in Lewis Township. He was born in 1842, in this township, and was raised on his father’s farm and acquired a common school education, devoting his time at home until majority; he then began the battle of life for himself, but did not marry until he was twenty-seven years of age, when he united with Miss Luella, daughter of William Clark, and a descendant of the pioneer, Joseph Clark, mentioned in the body of this work. The issue of this union is two children William C. and Ora B. He is one of the well-to-do and scientific farmers and successful tobacco-raisers of Lewis Township; he raises some fine cattle, hogs and horses, and owns 312 acres of good land.
