Helfer Cramer

HELFER CRAMER, a substancial and well-known farmer of LaGro Township, was born in York County, Penn., October 10, 1816, being the oldest son of Christian and Catharine (Wanner) Cramer, who were natives of Pennsylvania, but of German descent. Helfer received a fair education in the rude schoolhouse of early days, and at the age of nineteen years commenced learning a trade, which he followed in Darke County, Ohio, where he had located in 1839. In 1844, he came to Indiana, moving upon the site of his present home in 1850. Mr. C. has been twice married; his first wife was Maria Reniker, who survived her marriage about five years. The present Mrs. Cramer's maiden name was Christina Boomershine, a native of Darke County, Ohio. They are the parents of five children, viz:, Marry Ellen, Eliza Ann, David F., Charles H. and Margaret S. Mr. C. has spent a life of industry and usefulness, and is in possession of a handsome competence in his declining years.

Notes:

Could she have been a second wife? The 1850 census shows Michael Kocher as married to a Catherine, born ca 1820, in Germany. The eldest children, which are a good match to the children enumerated with Michael in Mary in 1860, were also shown as born in Germany versus Ohio or Germany. The Census MAY be incorrect.

Shown on FindAGrave as Mary Anna Margaretta Cramer Kocher.

Ancestry.com - Indiana Deaths shows her as Mary M. Kocher, age 83, died in Huntington, Indiana. The source of this record is the book A-7 on page 39 within the series produced by the Indiana Works Progress Administration.

Family/Spouse: Michael Kocher. Michael was born on 9 Sep 1809 in Stuttgart, Neckarkreis, W?rttemberg, Germany; died on 7 Aug 1875 in Huntington, Huntington County, Indiana; was buried in Star of Hope Cemetery, Huntington, Huntington County, Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

FindAGrave transcribes the inscription on his broken tombstone as follows:

SON OF CHRISTIAN & CATHARINE
AGED 23-6-5
NATIVE OF YORK CO. PA.
IMMIGRATED TO INDIANA 1852

Clarence E. Cramer had incorrectly speculated that he probably died as a child.

Notes:

JOEL CRAMER, a farmer of Dallas township, is a native of York Co., Pa., where he was born February 16, 1833, being the next youngest in a family of 9 children, born to Christian and Katherine (Warner) Cramer, who were also natives of Pennsylvania.

They removed to Seneca, Ohio, abt 1837, where they lived until their death. Joel was reared to manhood there, received a common school education, such as the facilities of those days afforded. When aout 17 years of age he emigrated to Indiana, first settling in Wabash, with the expectation of learning the carpenter's trade with his brother, remaining with him the most of the time for 3 years. Then for about 6 or 7 years his time was divided between this and Wabash County. In 1856 he permanently located at what is now Andrews, where he lived until the fall of 1869, when he removed to the farm which now he resides.

November 16, 1856, his marriage with Mary A. Shively was solemnized, and to their union 5 children were born, of whom 3 are now living: Charles E., Gilford S., and Alpheus T. The deceased children were: Laura E., who died the wife of Millard F. Millman, and William A. In January 1865, he enlisted in the service of his country; February, he was mustered in Company B, One hundred and Fifty-Third Indiana Regiment of Volunter Infantry, serving until the close of the war, and was honorably discharged at Louisville, Ky., October 1865.

Since 1869 he has made farming his occupation, and he has been very successful. He now owns 187 acres of well improved land. He and His Wife are menbers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, In Politics, he is a Republican.

Notes:

Did she die young? Not on the 1860 census with her father, nor is she mentioned in his autobiography. Her father and his second wife also named a daughter, born 1856, Eliza.

Notes:

The 1920 obituary of her brother, Charles, shows he was survived by a Mrs. William Jackson of Wabash. She had been married previously, possibly with children from this previous marriage, according to the 1910 Wabash County, IND census. On that she was shown as married twice, and the mother of 7 children total, only four still living. Only one son, William Jackson age 15, was listed with she and her second husband in 1910. Dean Cramer shows that she married first Owen KENNEDY.

Family/Spouse: William Jackson. William was born about 1861 in Ohio; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Samuel Henry Hopkins. Samuel was born in Sep 1848 in Pennsylvania; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
