In an article in the November 25, 1921 Royal Oak Tribune, Justice Richard H. Rose, the first child of Ransom and Jane, is quoted with reference to the location and type of property originally owned by Ransom as follows: "Justice Richard H. Rose, in discussing the remarkable rise in the value of Royal Oak real estate, recalls that his father sold 40 acres in Ferndale just south of the Machpelah cemetery for about $1,000 about 40 years ago. The judge says that all it was good for was to raise blue racers and mud turtles.".
