The former who was of English-Welsh descent, was born February 11, 1805, in Brunswick County, Va., and in company with his parents came to this State in the year 1812, and settled in Brown Township, where he now resides. He remained at home and assisted his parents on the farm until he attained his majority, receiving a common school education such as the schools of his day afforded. In September, 1825, he married Unis Driskell, by which union Henry was born, who stayed at home with his parents until he was of age. On December 26, 1851, his marriage with Lydia A. Cornwell was solemnized, and to their union nine children have been born, of which these seven are now living: William T., Theodore, Henry F., Eldora, Adolph, Laura E. and Mary A. His occupation has been principally farming, in connection with which he has dealt in stock, and is now operating the Clify Mill and distillery. His wife died March 8, 1874, and April 1, of the following year he married Martha A. Corbin, of Henry County, Ky. He is a member of the Blue Lodge and Chapter in the Masonic fraternity. In politics he is a stanch Democrat, and takes a good, lively interest in the public affairs of the community in which he lives. ------------------------------ From: Diana Flynn Date: Fri, 08 Aug 1997 23:58:05 -0400 Subject: KY-F: BIO: Cromer, John - Laurel Co "HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE & WASHINGTON COUNTIES, INDIANA" GOODSPEED BROS. 1884 POSEY TOWNSHIP, WASHINGTON COUNTY PAGE 886 JOHN CROMER, a prominent old citizen of Fredericksburg, was born August 27, 1820 in what is now called Laurel County, Ky., the oldest in a family of seven children born to George and Jane (Walker) Cromer, both of whom were natives of Virginia, and came to Lawrence County, this State, about the year 1822, where they remained about one year, thence removed to Harrison County, staying there until after the death of our subject's mother in the year 1847, when his father removed to Washington County, of which he remained a resident until his death. John received a limited education in the primitive log schoolhouse of his day. At the age of fifteen he was apprenticed for five years to the tanner and currier trade; the former has been chiefly his occupation through life. In the year 1869 he established the hotel known as the Traveler's Rest, and this enjoys a liberal patronage. November 10, 1842, he was wedded to Evaline Wilson, by whom he was father of four children, three of whom are now living: Joseph P., John B. and Annie L. September 22, 1864, he answered the call of his country to assist in preserving our Union, serving until mustered out at Indianapolis, May 11, 1865. In politics he is a Republican; a member of the G.
