Born in Pearisburg Va. Cromer Lee was married twice. His first wife is Elizabeth Christine Horr (Williams). He had two children with her, Elizabeth Ann and Richard Lee. Cromer was a decorated veteran. He received a medal for his actions in WWII. This is a transcription of that event. "For gallantry in action against the enemy, on 10 April 1945, in the vicinity of Niedereimer, Germany. Advancing ahead of a patrol while acting as first sergeant, Private First Class Habernigg was fired on by Germans occupying a camouflaged stronghold. Without hesitation he returned fire and moved close into the building, killing two of the garrison, compelling the hasty surrender of nineteen more and capturing four light machine guns. The fearless aggressiveness he displayed in single-handedly eliminating a menacing enemy fortification typifies the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit on Private First Class Habernigg. Cromer returned home and divorced Elizabeth Christine due to infidelity. He remarried Jane Conley and they had Bobby Wayne, Kathy, and Charles Henry. Cromer Lee died in Ohio and was transported to Virginia for burial. I do not have any photos of Jane Conley. Cromer was my biological grandfather.
