Edith Amelia Kramer, 95, died on September 13, 2004, at the Fairview Nursing Home in Dodge Center, Minn.
She was born on June 22, 1909, the daughter of Ulysses and Charlotte (Langford) Langworthy in Ashland Township, Dodge County, Minn. She and her twin sister, Ethel, were in incubators in Minneapolis, Minn., the first three months of their lives. They were widely hailed as two of the very first "incubator babies." Edith used to delight in telling how she was sent on the train from Dodge Center to the hospital in Minneapolis.
Pastor H. C. Van Horn baptized her in the Zumbro River near Dodge Center in 1919. She graduated from Dodge Center High School in 1927.
On June 22, 1932, Edith married Walter Kramer at the family home in Dodge Center. Early on, the couple lived on a farm near Hayfield, Minn., and later on a farm near Blooming Prairie, Minn. Walter died in 1961.
In 1971, Edith moved back to Dodge Center and worked at Gauerke's Department Store. In retirement, she lived in Dodge Center's Centerview Apartments, taking pride in being their longest-standing charter resident. In 2001, she moved to the Fairview Nursing Home.
Edith was a member and deaconess of the Dodge Center SDB Church. For years, she hosted a church-sponsored, Tuesday morning "hymn-sing" at the Centerview Apartments, an activity that continues.
Surviving are two sons, Wallace of Rochester, Minn., and Gary of San Antonio, Texas; one daughter, Vickie Klemmensen of St. Paul, Minn.; seven grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Besides her husband, two brothers and three sisters predeceased her.
A funeral service was held at the Dodge Center SDB Church on September 17, 2004, with Pastor Dale E. Rood officiating. Interment was in the Riverside Cemetery in Dodge Center.
