Notes:

Notes:

Clarence E. Cramer shows she was also called "Mary Ann," and died young. Dean Cramer shows she died Apr 1941 in Van Wert County, Ohio. Unable to locate a death certificate on FamilySearch.Org for Ohio. As she was living with her daughter, Wilma, in Anderson, Madison Co., Indiana at the time of the 1940 census, it is possible she may have actually died in Indiana.

Notes:

From the HISTORY OF VAN WERT COUNTY, OHIO AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS, Thaddeus Stephens Gilliland, Editor

"Frank A. Cramer was nine years old when his parents came to Pleasnt township and settled on the farm which is located just outside the city limits of Van Wart. He remained on the family homestead until he was 21 years of age, and in the meantime acquired a good common-school education. He then passed several years away from home, traveling over about 14 States, working at various occupations and having many adventures; but when he found himself 1,000 miles from home, with only three cents in his pocket, he wisely decided to return to that safe harbor as soon as possible. he met witha ready and hearty welcome, and while not desiring to become a farmer, found this a fine and locality in which to learnt the carpenter's trade, and, for the past 12 years has been a leader at Van Wert in the building and contracting line. Prior to entering into business for himself, he worked for 13 years of one employer. About 1901 he built his own shop on Jackson street, whihc is a commodious establishment two stories in height, with dimensions of 48 by 50 feet. Mr. Cramer gives employment to from 12 to 15 ment, and has successfully carried through a number of very large contracts, at present erecting a $30,000 structure for the Central Manufacturers' Mutual Insurance Company, the finest building ever erected in the city.

In 1882 Mr. Cramer was married to Kate P. Harris, daughter of Elijah and Ann Harris, of this county, and they have two children-Hazel and Milo. He is the owner of a beautiful family residence at No. 314 North Jefferson street, which he built, and now occupies; has a half interest in three other dwellings; is administrator of his father's estate, and is comtemplating the platting of the old homestead farm.

Politically Mr. Cramer is a Republican. Fraternally he is a Mason and an Odd Fellow; religiously he is connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church and is one of the stewards.
