Faithful Christian Many Years Gone

One of the Oldest of Lake Odessa Residents Dies at Age of 92? Yrs.

Mrs. John Cramer, mother of Mrs. Charles Haller who has lived with her daughter 
passed away March 31st.

Mrs. Cramer was almost a life long Christian and very patient in all her 
suffering.  [Unreadable words]… daughter and was often visited by friends, and 
the young people sang for her when for so long she could not get around on 
account of her affliction.

Eva Mary Sindlingr was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, October 27, 1832.  When she 
was eight years of age her mother died and she later, in the year 1854 with her 
younger brother came to America.  They stayed in Burr Oak, Michigan for a time 
and then visited other parts of the state.

On April 12, 1860 she was united in marriage to John Kramer.  They came 
immediately to Woodland and settled on a farm where she spent the greater part 
of her life.  To this union one child was born, Mrs. Chas. Haller of Lake 
Odessa.  Mr. Kramer passed away in 1908.  Thirteen years ago she came to visit 
her daughter and met with an accident, breaking her limb, from which she never 
recovered.  Since that time she has made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Haller 
where she has been tenderly and lovingly cared for these years.

At the age of fourteen she was confirmed in the Lutheran church.  All her life 
she has been a devoted Christian, growing old beautifully and sweetly and in 
spite of her affliction proving the truth of the text, “The hoary head is a 
crown of glory if found in the way of righteousness.”  Her confirmation motto 
was chosen by herself for her funeral text, I Timothy 6:12.

On the morning of March 31 she fell asleep in Jesus to awaken in a land where 
pain and suffering are unknown.

She leaves her daughter and son-in-law, who has been a true son to her, two 
grandchildren and five great-grandchildren to await that morning when the veil 
shall be removed and death forever past.

The funeral was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Haller on Thursday, Rev. 
Cramer, the pastor, preached and Rena Minier, Madge Wortley, and Wm. Chipchase 
and David Leak sang.  Burial was at Lake Side.

and Mrs. Dave Kussmaul, Mrs. Bauman, Mrs. John Sindlinger, Mrs. Mattie
