ISAAC B. CRAMLET

Isaac B. Cramlet, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Cramlet, was born November 22, 1844 at Chanlersville, Ohio, and died at his home in Mt. Ayr, Iowa, Jan. 14, 1921 at the age of 76 years, 1 month and 23 days.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Maggie M. Cramlet and eleven children: Charlie of Winterset; George, of Appleton, Minn., John, of Burnett, Wis.; Mrs. Anna Bennett, of Benson, Minn.; Mrs. Cora Kopp of Deer Creek, Minn.; Mrs. Myrtle Bush of Macon, Mo.; Mrs. Pearl Bush of Winterset; Frank of Appleton, Minn.; Edwin of Fairmont, Minn.; William of Mt. Ayr, Iowa and Robert Cramlet Clearwater the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. John Clearwater of Salem, Ore. There are also 38 grandchildren and two great grandchildren to mourn his loss.

Mr. Cramlet was reared in Ohio until 1862 when at the age of 18 he enlisted in the Union forces for service during the civil war, serving one year and one month. He was honorably discharged in September, 1863, on account of disability. After leaving the army, he came west to Rushville, Ill., where he resided on a farm until 1879.

In 1868 he was married to Ellen Cornman and to this union were born 17 children. In 1896 the family contracted typhoid fever, the mother and two children passing away at the home near Winterset. He was remarried to Maggie Carnahan at Winterset, May 30, 1897. Two children, Everett and Eva, were born of this marriage, but passed away in infancy.

Mr. and Mrs. Cramlet moved to Mt. Ayr during the spring of 1900, where they have since resided. Mr. Cramlet was a member of Ellis G. Miller Post, No. 96, G.A.R. of Mt. Ayr. During the last two years, he has had failing health, but was confined to his bed only for the last few days, having contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, from which he never rallied, although he was conscious until the last.
