T. J. Kremer
Source: The Monroe County Beacon Woodsfield, Ohio, January 1951
Not in recent years, if ever, was news of a death received more as a surprise and shock than that of the death of Judge T. J. Kremer Monday afternoon, January 14, 1951, about 2 o'clock. He had been in his usual health and held a session in Common pleas Court from 9:00 to 9:45 in the forenoon.
At the conclusion of his work, he began to feel uncomfortable and hurried across the street to his home. Mrs. Kremer summoned medical aid at once and he seemed relieved but a severe heart attack resulted in his death a few hours later. He was the last member of his family.
Judge Kremer was born at Miltonsburg, Ohio on December 28, 1873, a son of Philip and Mary Widner Kremer. His public school education was supplemented by a course in Law at Ohio State University. He was admitted to the bar on December 7, 1901, and practiced in Woodsfield, both as an individual and as a member of the firm of Matz and Kremer.
Mr. Kremer served two terms as prosecuting attorney of Monroe County, Ohio from 1911-1915.
In 1944 he was elected Common Peas Judge for a six-year term and last fall was reelected without opposition and on January 2nd had begun his second term.
During the last illness and after the death of Judge A. C. McDougal, Judge Kremer served as Acting Probate Judge for several months in addition to his own work.
On November 28, 1905, Mr. Kremer was united in marriage with Miss Eloise Weisend at Woodsfield where they have lived ever since. They reared a family of ten children all of whom are living. The parents lived to realize the glory of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good.
They are Mrs. Byron (Ruth) Gillespie and Mrs. Burris (Eloise) Decker of Woodsfield; Mrs. Robert (Hortense) Arther, of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; Mrs. Robert (Margaret) King, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. John (Betty) Edmonds, of Alexandria, Virginia; Atty. T. J. Kremer, Jr. of Woodsfield; Frederick, of Cuyahoga Falls; William of Skokie, Illinois; George of Arlington, Virginia; and John with the navy in Japan.
As in most large families, they enjoyed many good times together. The death of the husband and father is the first break in the family circle.
Judge Kremer was a charter member of the Woodsfield Kiwanis Club and a member of the Monroe County Bar Association.
He was companionable and friendly in disposition, realistic in his legal and judicial approaches to problems and sought to know the facts on which to base actions and decisions.
Several years ago, he was actively engaged in the oil business as a producer and operator both in West Virginia and Ohio, and never lost interest on the development of this natural resource of his country.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Schumacher funeral home in charge of the Reverend Robert Brown, of St. Sylvester's Catholic Church and were largely attended. Interment was made in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield.
