    Notes 
    • Said to have married first Anna Maria Koller and second Catherine Stump. Anna Maria died. In November 1850, Israel was enumerated in Eden Township, Seneca County, Ohio with the family of Jesse and Julian COLER....perhaps these were his former in-laws. He is not listed with a wife, so presumably Anna Maria died before the date, probably in or after June 1850 when their daughter Anna Maria Cramer died.

      From FindAGrave:

      Military Marker inscribed: Israil L. Cramer, First Lt Co B 57 Regt Ohio Inf, Civil War, December 22, 1900

      Israel married Catherine Stump (b. 7 Aug 1831 in Little York, PA (sic), d. 9 Oct 1896 in Fostoria, Ohio) on 21 Mar 1854 in Little York, PA (??? or Ohio). It was a second marriage for both. Israel's first wife died in childbirth in Ohio. Israel had moved west to Fostoria, Ohio in the late 1840s, joined the 57th Ohio Volunteers when the unit was created in 1861. He mustered out in 1865 with only one furlough of a month in early 1864. Israel's unit saw action with Sherman's army in the Civil War. He served as a Quartermaster Sergeant before being promoted to Bugler First Lieutenant which is the rank he held when mustering out. After the war, Israel's occupation was a Carpenter in Fostoria according to the 1880 Census. The Danville Veteran's home documents state he had "gray eyes and fair hair."
