Until twenty-one years of age he remained on the home farm, and then engaged as a laborer in a saw-mill in Seneca County for two years, and then, in 1847, he married and bought eighty acres of land, on which he at once located and cultivated until 1864, when he came to Van Wert and bought 120 acres in Pleasant township, where he now resides and still owns 75 acres of finely improved land. The family all worship in the Methodist Episcopal faith, and in politics Mr. Cramer is a prohibitionist; he is a member of the grange No. 82, of which he was the treasurer for 14 years."

      FindAGrave lists his date of birth as 9 Oct 1822, and date of death as 10 Jan 1912. A photo of an engraved double tombstone, with a second wife, Sarah J. Cramer, shows the dates as 6 Oct 1833 through 11 Jan 1912. Dean Cramer has an earlier date of death, 11 November 1905.
