Research Notes: Henry McMains / Grace Ramsey

Henry McMains was born Jan. 1880 in Illinois to Anderson Mcmains and Clarissa Comstock.  After serving in the Army (Phillipine Islands), he followed in his brother, Harrison's footsteps by training as an osteopathic physician in Baltimore. His wife, Grace Ramsey was also an osteopathic physician. Apparently they married previous to the move to Baltimore, as their first child was born in Indiana.

Endnotes

1.  "Obituary of Mrs. Anderson McMains," Rossville Press, Rossville, IL; May 20 1915, [Henry is listed as living at home. Apparently he followed his brother, Harrison, to Baltimore and also followed him into becoming a doctor. By 1922, he was listed as a doctor, and in Baltimore with his brother. The problem with the story is that census records show Henry and his wife Grace in Baltimore in 1910, and it appears they had been there since at least 1907].
