Ramco
Nomenclature
As to its nomenclature Mr K.J. Mack of Loxton in a letter to the author in 1994 said:
-
I refer to Cockburn [What's in a Name], page 183 for origin provided by W.K. Mallyon, late of Port Pirie. This Mallyon came from the Weston's Flat pub "Rest and Be Thankful", upstream of Morgan, delicensed 1905. Now Weston's Flat and Ramco are relatively close, whereas your Overland Corner King Cobdoglo Rampko was a long way upstream, so, the connection must be dubious. I far prefer Mallyon's explanation. What say you?
-
They called a meeting of single men [and] formed themselves into an association to be called "The Ramco Co-operative Village Association", the name rising from the "Ramco Lagoon" on the property.
Later, Mr Mack responded:
-
Far be it for me to criticise Tindale. I don't profess any expertise in this field...your word "probably" (p. 176) is less convincing than Mallyon's... comments. Mallyon's Accommodation House was firmly entrenched in 1866 ([see] SA Gazetteer), so I guess it is reasonable that Mallyon had close contact with the remaining Aborigine(s). To have invented the data is incomprehensible...

Place Names
Ravenswood
Nomenclature
W. Raven and W. Dalwood were former owners of portion of the land and, therefore, it may be a combination of their respective surnames, while in the 1840s Samuel Mills called an adjacent property 'Ravenswood Farm'.
The origin of the name is complicated by the fact that two gentlemen named "Mills" had an influence in the development of the district, viz, George Mills and Samuel Mills. However, its nomenclature is, no doubt, explained in the reminiscences of Samuel Mills, junior, in the Register, 4 January 1913, page 6e:
-
My father and uncle [Robert] named the farm "Ravenswood" after a place in the South of Scotland, where they came from. The farm was known as Ravenswood Farm for all the time they held it - nearly thirty years. My father and uncle carried on building contracts under the name, S. and R. Mills. The first structure erected were a row of buildings in the east of Rundle Street known as Tavistock Buildings.
- A fire broke out at this place formerly known as Ravenswood Farm, belonging to Mr G. Mills of Hill, Mills & Co. Five stacks containing in all about 500 tons of good new hay were entirely consumed...
General Notes
George Mills donated the land on which the Goodwood Institute stands - see Place Names - Goodwood - and once owned the land occupied by "Ravenswood" - see Manning's Place Names of South Australia.
