O.C. is the sixth child and third son born to Jacob D. Ramey & Etta Harriet Cox on 8 Feb 1903 in Vian, Indian Territory, Oklahoma.

The name O.C. was quite popular during Daddy's generation. Even some women were named O.C. There was a woman school teacher at Hendrix named O.C. Pleasant. Daddy always said Grandma didn't think enough of him to give him a proper name. When he signed legal papers, he always had to put O. (initial only) C. (Initial only). He said that was alright as long as people didn't start calling him "Initials only". Grandma said Daddy was the easiest of her kids to make mind – all she had to do was thump him on the head about once a week. (From Floy Ophelia Ramey Brown, Denison, Texas. Ophelia is O.C.'s daughter.)
