Notes for Alvin Lee Ramey
The Kentucky death index lists Alrin Ramey, age 90, died 13 Dec 1961 in Rowan Co., residence same.
Notes for Celia Ann Dewitt
Her death certificate records Ceala An Ramey, age 45 years 1 month 48 days, born 9 June 1886 in Rowan Co., died 7 Aug 1931 in Farmers, Rowan Co., Ky, married, father’s name Moore, mother’s maiden name Suza Dewitt, born in Ky, cause of death tuberculosis of bowels, informant A. L. Ramey, burial in Alfrey Cemetery.

Since Celia and Alvin were married about 1894, she clearly cannot have been born in 1886.

She was recorded in the 1900 census as age 21, b. Dec 1878. I have not found her in the 1880 census, under either Moore or Dewitt.
