When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Rest in peace Ms Ramshaw.

Elizabeth Ramshaw, the oldest living person in the U.S. state of Kansas, passed away on 6 June, at the age of 110 years, 75 days, according to the Wakarusa Presbyterian Church.
Elizabeth Ramshaw was born on 23 March 1916 in Osage County, Kansas, as the eighth of nine children born to John Dickerhoof and Lula Belle Thompson. She graduated from eighth grade at Farmersville Grade School, and worked for several years at the Lyndon Café with her sister, Helen Goldsmith.
She met George Ramshaw, and they were married on 8 March 1941. The couple had one child – a son, Ray (b. 1944), and lived most of their lives on the farm south of Michigan Valley. Elizabeth and George retired from the farm in 1992, and moved into Lyndon.
Following the passing of Dorothy Maxine Poppen (22 February 1916 – 12 August 2025), she became the oldest known living person in Kansas.
