    Notes 
    • According the "History of Ionia and Montcalm Counties Michigan with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of their Prominent Men and Pioneers" by John S. Schenck, Philadelphia, D.W. Ensign & Co. 1881, the first framed house in Odessa was built by Emory Russell after 1842. Other early settlers in and near the Russell neighborhood were Nelson Merrill, EMANUEL CRAMER, S.B. CHAPMAN, A.A. Haskins, A.J. Clark, P.S. Lapham, David Crapo, John D. Hight, Reuben Haight, George E. Kelly, James N. Galloway, and Asa Houghton (p. 315). It was further noted that Emanuel Cramer mustered out of the 21st From Ionia County, Michigan on June 8, 1865. The 21st was commanded by Col. Ambrose A. Stevens, Boston and Lieut.-Col. Morris B. Wells, Ionia. Col Stevens was released from service on Feb. 3, 1863 due to a disability. Lieut.-Col. Wells was killed at Chickamuaga on that same day. (pp. 74-75).


      The "History of Ionia County, Michigan, her people, industries and...., Volume 2" by Elam E. Brach and EarlW. De La Vergne notes that he enlisted in Company A, Twenty-first regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry in August, 1862 and mustered out in June 1865 at the rank of corporal. This book also indicated that Emanuel Cramer was a carpenter and many of the buildings erected in the southern part of the county in pioneer days were built by him.
