Ref: Frank Cramer answers summons - Heart trouble causes death while transacting business in Manchester - Frank Cramer, who has been operating the farm known as the William Mead farm north of Manchester, passed away very unexpectedly in the Farmers Commission Company's office on West Main Street, Monday afternoon, at 3:45 o'clock. The summons came without a moment's notice. Mr. Cramer had finished loading his wagon with coal and had driven on the scales near the office and stepped into the office to settle for the coal. When he entered the office he appeared to be in his usual health, and in a moment he sank into the chair near the desk.
Mr. Cramer was born in Middlesex, PA, 14 September 1861. He was a son of the late J. P. Cramer, formerly years a resident of Hopkinton. Mr. Cramer came to Delaware County when a mere lad, and has lived in various parts of the county ever since.
He was united in marriage with Miss Carrie Kaster of Delaware, 14 December 1888 and to them were born one daughter, Mrs. Elmer Reed of this city, and three sons, Avery B., Wm. L., and Emery K., all at home. He leaves to mourn his death the wife, and four children, and two brothers, A. K. Cramer of Hopkinton, Charles Cramer of Cedar Rapids, and four sisters, Mrs. Emma Stevens, of Sioux City, IA, Mrs. F. E. Bentley of Rhodes, IA, Mrs. Bert Houston, of Belvidere, IL and Mrs. W. W. Eberhart of Ottawa, KS. All of the sisters and brothers are expected to arrive today for the funeral services, which will be held at the home on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. S. R. Beatty, pastor of the Methodist Church, will conduct the services. Internment will be made in Oakland Cemetery.
Mr. Cramer's death comes with crushing force to the faithful wife and the children, and has brought a great sorrow to the household. During all of lifetime Mr. Cramer was a hardworking man, a kind husband and Father, and was highly respected by all who knew him. All of his life was spent in farming. A few years ago he sustained an injury to his back when a hay carrier track broke loose from its fastening in a barn, striking him across the back. Since that accident he was not able to do his usual day's work. Nothwithstanding this physical handicap he continued to pursue his work on the farm.
The family has the profound sympathy of a large circle of friends in the great sorrow that has come to them.
