R. S. Cramer, a prominent business man of Lewis and the present postmaster of 
the place, is a native of Wayne County, Ohio, and was born at Fredericksburg 
September 24, 1854. His father, H. A. Cramer, originally from Pennsylvania, 
removed to Ohio with his parents and settled in Wayne County, where he was 
married to Miss Margaret Riddle. In 1854 the family located at Fort Dodge, Iowa, 
and were among the pioneer settlers of Webster County. R. S. Cramer grew to 
manhood in that county, receiving his primary education at the public school, 
supplemented with three years' attendance at the Agricultural College at Ames, 
Iowa. After completing his studies he entered a store and clerked at Fort Dodge 
for about three years. He was married at that place December 19, 1875, to Miss J. 
A. Fleming, who was born in Pennsylvania and is a daughter of Thomas Fleming. 
About one year after his marriage Mr. Cramer removed to the Indian Territory, 
where he had charge of a store at McAlister for the Osage Coal Mining Company, 
remaining there two years. In the fall of 1877 he came to Lewis, Henry County, 
Missouri, purchased the stock and business of Thomas Terry, and has since 
continued in business at this point. He carries a complete and well assorted 
stock of general merchandise and is doing a good business. He had the misfortune 
to be burned out in September, 1882, but has since erected a good building, 24 x 
60 feet. He was appointed postmaster at Lewis in September, 1877. He and his 
wife have four children: Rolla T., Floyd A., Jennie and Bessie. Mr. C. is a member 
of the Masonic fraternity.
