Ranson family.
William Joseph Ranson of Huntersville, N.C., had about ten children, including several sons who attended the University of North Carolina in the 1910s and 1920s: John Oliver Ranson, who was killed in France during World War I; Lucius H. Ranson, who served as Superintendent of Welfare for Mecklenburg County, N.C., in the 1920s; Robert Lacy Ranson, who graduated from the University in 1924; and Paul J. Ranson. The brothers were involved in athletics at the University, both during their time as students and as alumni. One was on the football team, and two were on the track and field team, although it is unclear which brothers were on which teams.
