Mrs. Jacob Kramer passed away at her home, Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the age of 86 years. Mrs. Kramer had been in failing health for the past year, and for the past few weeks her friends and children saw that her life would soon be ended. Her son Fred and her only daughter, Mrs. Walter Worley, of Charlston, N.D., were summoned to her bed side. Mrs. Kramer had been a long resident of McGregor. Mr. Kramer preceded her in death several years ago. Two daughters have also passed away.
