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 Fredrik Ramm was a well-known journalist.[2] His younger brother Harald Ramm was a noted barrister.[3]
