Buried with Stella J. RAMOS (1897-1916) and Marianne RAMOS (1854-1934) and Carl E. RAMOS (1895-1965).

Henry RAMOS should be listed here as "famous." Ramos came to New Orleans in 1887 and took over the Imperial Cabinet Saloon at Gravier and Carondelet downtown. In 1907 he purchased the Stag Saloon, near Gravier and St Charles. In the city that literally invented the first American cocktails, Ramos moved things forward with his invention of the Ramos Gin Fizz. Frothy, citrusy, smooth-as-silk. Demand for it was so high he employed 35 "shaker boys" during Mardi Gras 1915. Prohibition shut him down, but the cocktail reemerged after his death in the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans in the 1930s. The drink is stil served at places in New Orleans like the Bar UnCommon, the French 75 Bar at Arnaud's, at Cure and at all the Brennan restaurants.
