Son of Perry and Mary Ann (Scully) Cram. Named after his father's friend General Bidwell.
Due to the Civil War, the Crams of New Hampshire left Texas by a mule train of sixty animals. Bud, at two months, was carried on his mother's lap across the mountains of northern Mexico to Guayamas, Mexico, in less than sixty days. They took a ship to Benicia, California, and later moved to Yreka, California. In 1880, the family of six boys and four girls moved to Cow Canyon, Oregon, where Perry and Mary Ann operated the government toll road from Bakeoven to the bottom of the McPherson Hill, two miles southeast of Heisler, Oregon. Bud handled cattle for local ranchers for the next few years, and worked on places such as the Mays Ranch.
Later, he bought a small ranch on Trout Creek, the first place owned and developed on the creek. The ranch was the home of Henry Coleman, one of the large cattle barons of early history, Teal and Coleman. At one time it is said that Mr. Cram owned and operated 20,000 acres.
In March, 1889, he married Kate Belle Bolter at her father Ed's home. Their two children were Robert and Eleanor.
The Crams celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at the Kennedy home in 1939. After the death of his wife Kate, Bud remarried Maude Jones of Colville, Washington. In 1946 he sold all of his holdings and retired to Redmond, Oregon.
