McCamy History |
|
From the earliest days of the Rymers in
America members of the family have been in the military.
The first we know of is William Rymer sent on Indian
scouting parties in 1759 and 1760. John Alexander
(Black John) Rymer fought for the south in the civil war.
We are not aware of any members who served during World
War I. Frank Albert Rymer was the only Rymer we know
of who served during World War II. This is understandable
if you examine the dates of the Rymers birth. Black John's
youngest son was born in 1885, and grandchildren
were too young to serve. During World War II many of
the Rymer descendents were too old to serve . During
the Korean War Bob and John Rymer served in the Military,
also Uncle Will's grandson David Epperson served as a
translator when in the service. Aunt Lou Rymer Miles
grandson Eddie Miles served in the military (Korea and or
Viet Nam). Bill Blair and "Richie" Blair served in
the military (Mary Charles is to furnish information on
them)
World War II
The McCamy had a number of members (no direct ancestors)
who served on the side of the south during the civil
war. Aunt Lena's son Ralph Ervin was in England at
the time of the Normandy invasion and later was stationed
in Europe, do not believe he was in a combat unit. Frank
Rymer was in England and later in Germany, he was in a
non-combat unit but said they were close enough to the
front lines to could hear the guns. We are aware of the following serving during World War II Aunt George William's Son Pat (Air Corp pilot) killed when his plane went down over Belgium Aunt Rob Rucker's only child Ben (Infantry Officer) was killed during the Battle of the Bulge when a shell exploded directly over him Aunt Lena Ervin's son Ralph served in a non-combat role Aunt George William's son Howard served in the military Frances Rymer's son Frank served in a non-combat role >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> William (Reimer) Rymer Indian
