Description

Shortly after 1876, Oliver Perry Poe, one of Denton's early mayors, had the vision to see the significance of the insurance industry in the growth and development of a new and promising community, and he opened doors of what must have been one of Denton's first insurance business until around 1909 when he sold the firm to W. F. Bailey and J. W. Carlisle. Sometime around 1910 - 1914 Mr. Bailey, and eventually Mr. Carlisle, sold their interest to Lon A. Speer, who in turn sold a half interest to M. L. Ramey in 1920

The entry of M. L. Ramey began a new tradition to continue with the Ramey name for better than 75 years. When Mr. Speer died in 1923, Mr. Ramey took on Abney B. Ivey as his partner, and Ramey & Ivey was a well-known duo for the next 22 years. In those days the business operated out of a small upstairs office in the old Craddock Building on the South side of the square. Business must have been good, for in 1926 Ramey & Ivey picked up and moved to the Smoot-Curtis Building - the only building with an elevator. The agency spent the next 36 years in the Smoot - Curtis Building and saw it change to the Johnson Building, the Morris Building and the Texas Building, as it is now today.

A transition of Ramey's took place in 1946, when M. L. Ramey sold his interest in the firm to his son, Marvin G. Ramey. Soon thereafter Marvin purchased Mr. Ivey's interest and the business operated as the Ramey Insurance Agency.
