Coordinator's note: Of the two surnames, "Cramlett" is on his father's gravestone and appears to be what his father favored per other vital records but earlier generations used "Cramlet". He is buried in the Winterset Cemetery, 1910 Addition, Section G4, Lot 411 per the cemetery records, contrary to what the obituary says.
