The pedagogue and poet João de Deus (João de Deus de Nogueira Ramos, 1830-1896), was born in São Bartolomeu de Messines, Algarve.

He studied for the priesthood and received minor orders, but abandoned the seminary for the military academy, later switching to the Faculdade de Medicina in Bahia, also studying medicine at Rio de Janeiro. For his extraordinary talent and propensity for controversy he was called the "Bocage Brazileiro". Despite humble origins, he managed to rise to hold a position as army medical officer, and taught Portuguese grammar, history, and geography at the preparatory school attached to the military academy of Rio de Janeiro.* Sacramento Blake V, 288-91.
