L. CRAMER, a farmer at Cacheville, is the of son Lawrence and Mary (Barbary)
Cramer, both natives of Germany. The father, a farmer, came to the United States
in 1803; and both parents died in Hamilton County, Ohio, the mother in 1876 and
the father in 1881. Mr. Cramer, of this sketch, was born in Covington, Kentucky,
June 25, 1836, and when but two months old he was taken by his parents to Ohio,
in their immigration to that State. At the age of sixteen years he came across
the plains to the gold country in California, with a train of ninety wagons,
leaving Ohio on February 1, 1852, and landed at Grizzly Flat, about sixtten
miles from Diamond Spring, Placer County, where he mined that winter. After
spending three months at Sacramento he came to Cacheville, Yolo County, where he
has ever since remained, and where he has a fine farm of 100 acres two miles
from town, on Cache Creek. He also owns 11,000 acres, partly in Yolo County and
partly in Colusa County. On the home ranch he raises grain principally, and the
large tract is devoted to stock-grazing. He is a member of Yolo Lodge, No. 81,
F. & A. M., and of the Knights Templar Lodge, No. 22.

  He married Miss Mattie Pace in Yolo County, whose father, Russell Pace, was
born in Kentucky and whose mother was a native of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Cramer
have five children, as follows: Lawrence E., born in 1872; Bertha S., 1874;
Mattie V., 1876; Charles V., 1878; and Greta G., 1886.
