Mr.. Cramer died in 1881; at that time
he owned the farm on the Wisconsin
river at the mouth of Rib river.
About two months after his death

home and about everything in sight,
excepting the land. The younger
generation took up the work of re-
storing the home and its possessions
and under the excellent management
of the mother, success crowned their
efforts. Now, this excellent family
is widely separated and none reside
in the old home city.

May health and happiness, so richly
earned, continue with her for many
years to come is the wish of all.
