Thanks - using that search I was also able to locate this account of his obit.

"Word was received In this city today
of the burial in Paterson. N. J., yesterday
of Henry "Hank" Ramsey, a former
baseball manager. Identified for many
seasons with the New York State Base-
Ball League. Ramsey died in a sanitarium
at Morris Plains, N. J., last week.
He was born In Paterson Sept. 13, 1869.

Ramsey entered base-ball upward of
21 years ago, managing the Pateraon
club;—Later he helped organize the
Hudson River League, where he managed
tho Newburg and Kingston clubs.
He then turned his attention to the New
York State circuit, playing a -very important,
part in the formation of the
League which to-day stands as the oldest
minor league in the country. In the
???? wheel Ramsey managed at Altoona,
Utica. Elmira, Scranton and Troy,
and invariably he had his team- at the
top fighting tooth and nail for the honors."
