DAVID CRAM, farmer, section 5, Goodwell Township, was born Jan. 18, 1833, in 
Canada, near Turkey Point, 

and is the son of William and Margaret (Hadley) Cram.  The father was a native 
of Scotland and the mother 

of England.

He had the rearing common to the sons of of farmers, and at a vey early age 
was brought to face the 

necessity of carving out his own fortune. He spent some years working as an 
assistant in the saw-mills and 

as a lumberman, after which he came to Newaygo County and began to improve a 
tract of 120 acres of land, 

on which he remained some years; next, he resided for a time in Kent County, 
and finally returned to his 

original location, of which he has since retained possession.

Mr. Cram has been twice married.  His first wife was Sarah, nee Hall, by whom 
he had three children, 

namely:  Mary, James and an infant deceased.  In 1880 Mr. C. married Isabella 
Sharp, who was born Oct. 25, 

1862, in Howell, Livingston Co., Mich., a daughter of Richard and Lydia 
(Howell) Sharp.
