renee L. Minor Of this place for the
past week. Mr.. Kramer was born
near Greensboro, we believe, and was
formerly q resident of Morgantown,
w. Va, as well as a distinguished
citizen of that state. He was elected
five successive times to the legisls-
ture during the exciting times Of the
war, and served as Speaker of the
house several sessions. He was an
ardent union man and among the
foremost in establishing the division
of the state. He impressed himself
so fayorably upon the politics Of that
state that he was offered the United
States Senatorship as well as the
gubernatorial nomination, each at O
time when he could have been chosen
with scarcely show Of opposition,
both of which he declined. After a
faithful and honorable service in the
legislature, he declined the other
proffered positions of honor and
trust, prefering the peaceful quiet Of
a retired life to political preferment. :
