John Kreamer
John Kreamer, deceased. The subject of this sketch was born February 9, 1825, in Pennsylvania. When a boy, with his parents, Joseph and Mary Kreamer, he emigrated to Madison County, Ohio. He received but a meager education in his youth, schools then being not very numerous and of an inferior order as compared with the splendid schools of to-day. On October 16, 1848, he married Miss Mary Snodgrass, born February 5, 1829, and daughter of James and Mary Snodgrass. To them were born six children, four of whom are now living — Martha C., Eugene C., John and Rosella. In 1860, Mr. Kreamer settled in Monroe Township, near where his widow now resides, and where he remained until his decease, January 27, 1871. He was a kind and loving father and an indulgent husband, respected by all who knew him. He had served as Trustee of Monroe Township. His widow, an estimable lady, still survives him, and resides in the eastern portion of Monroe Township.
