The fruit of this union was one daughter, who died in infancy.
Samuel received a good education in the Hubbard high school and in the North Sewickley academy, under the supervision of his brother-in-law, Professor J. C. Gilchrist, and in his younger days followed the profession of teaching. He studied pharmacy, and about 30 years ago opened a drug store here, in which he has been interested and personally superintended ever since. Mr. Cramer was a Christian gentleman of the highest integrity, having at the age of 16 years united with the Baptist Church, with which he has since been identified, being for 30 years a Deacon in the church and for many years its Sunday School superintendent.
