Personal life

He was born in Sogndal as a son of vicar Jens Ludvig Carl Olsen (1816–1866) and Vally Marie Caroline Juell (1832–1906). In 1890 he married Anna Margaretha Brinchmann, daughter of the customs treasurer in Moss.[1] Their son Harald Ramm was a noted barrister.[2]

His wife Vally was a daughter of Sogndal's mayor Fredrik Christian Juell and sister-in-law of Carl August Gulbranson. As such, Fredrik Gottlieb Olsen Ramm was an uncle of Carl Gulbranson.[3][4][5]

He started working as a physician for fishermen in Lofoten in the same year. He also conducted study travels in Germany and Austria in 1883. After six years as a physician in the United States from 1884 to 1890, he returned to Norway and Stavanger before being hired as a reserve physician at Rikshospitalet in 1891. He worked in Tromsøe from 1894, then as chief physician at Aker Hospital from 1897 to 1912.[1][6]
