Crammer in the Methodist Church at Jonesville on April 11, at 3:00 'clock Sunday afternoon, interment following in Harrisonburg Cemetery in the presence of many sorrowing friends and relatives.

He was married to Miss Effie Blackman on January 14, 1900, who survives him. Those besides his widow who mourn his passing are a daughter, Mrs. J.W. Peyton of Shreveport, La.; two grandsons, E.Y.
