Forgotten Pioneers: Justus Ramsey
Justus Ramsey (1823–1881) was Alexander Ramsey’s brother. He came to St. Paul in the late 1840s, engaged in various business ventures, served in the Minnesota Legislature, and was carrying the treaty payment to the Dakota when the US Dakota War of 1862 broke out. At age fifty-eight, wealthy, unmarried and in ill health, he took his own life.
