Notes:

From FindAGrave:

John L. Cramer was born May 20, 1888, and died at his home in Manheim Township, May 29, 1945, aged 57 years and 9 days.

The Stone Church community was shocked to learn of the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Cramer. He had attended the Memorial Day services at the Stone Church on Sunday, May 27, and appeared to be in his usual health.

Mr. Cramer was a life-long resident of the Stone Church community, a kind husband and father, a respected neighbor and friend. He was a faithful member of the Stone Church Union Sunday School and of the Lutheran congregation. He attended church regularly every Sunday, a devoted friend of both pastors. He was the father of a large family. One of his sons is now overseas in the service of his country.

The funeral services were held from the Geiple Funeral Parlor, Glen Rock, Pa., Friday afternoon, June 1, 1945, and concluding services at Stone Church. His pastor, Rev. K. S. Ehrhart, officiated, assisted by Rev. Paul D. Yoder. The latter used as his text Psa. 8:4. Burial was made in the new cemetery at the Stone Church.

Obituary, From FindAGrave:

Mrs. Ellen Jane Cramer was born March 22, 1861, and died April 11, 1931, aged 70 years and 19 days.

Her death came very suddenly after only a few days of illness which followed a fall which she suffered when visiting one of her children.

Mrs. Cramer had been a faithful member of St. Jacob's (Stone) Reformed Church for many years, and together with her husband who was accidentally killed September 14, 1922, raised a large family of children who have all become good and useful citizens, and most of them living in the Stone Church community. There are also a large number of grandchildren to mourn her loss.

The funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon, April 14, 1931, from the home of her son, Lawrence Cramer, with brief services at the house and concluding services at the Stone Church. The funeral text was Psalm 73:24. Rev. W. H. Ehrhart assisted at the services. Burial in the new cemetery.
