YOUNG MAN DIES.

The death of Earl C. Cramer took
place August %, 1915, at the family
home, formerly the W. C. Wade place
in the eighth ward, after an acute
illness of only thirty minutes from
heart failure. He was born Sept. 16,
1890, being not quite twenty-five years.
He was great sufferer from rheuma-
tism and a weak heart, and the re-
moval of the family from Iowa was
partly due to the hope that warmer
climate would prove beneficial to him.
His was an exemplary Christian char
acter. He joined the Methodist Epis-
copal church when only nine years old.
The funeral services were held at
the home at p. m, Tuesday, conduct
ed by Rev. S. l.. Riggs. The body was
taken to Plettenberg, then by rail with
the intention of burial at the old home
in Iowa. Mrs. Cramer accompanied
the body, Mr.. Montgomery, a cousin,
going as far as Shreveport, and it was
expected that Mrs Cramer's other son
should meet her at Kansas City. Later
it was decided that burial be made at
Shreveport, as the body was not EN-
balmed. There was neighborly gath
ering at the home for the last services,
their new Southern friends deeply SYM
pathizing with the family in it's be-
reavement. The young man leaves his
aged grandmother, two aunts, an uncle,
a brother and sister, the latter being
a missionary In Alaska.
