Robert A. Kramer. Individual merit may claim a recognition in America that is accorded it in no other country on the face of the globe. The power of personality to conquer fate, to utilize opportunities, and to take advantage of possibilities to rise to higher planes is acknowledged here, and the man who depends upon his own ability, enterprise and honesty, and not upon the reputation of his ancestors, is the man who wins public honor and fame. Robert A. Kramer, whose extensive practice places him among the leading lawyers of the State of Ohio, has achieved that success which is the natural result of systematic effort, straight-forward dealing and resolute purpose. He has climbed upon a ladder of his own building to prominence and prosperity, and has earned the well-merited esteem and respect of his fellow men. Mr. Kramer was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 8, 1894 a son of Joseph F. and Belle (Smythe) Kramer. He received his early education in the public schools of this city, later attending the Hughes High school, from which he was graduated with the class of 1912. He then attended the University of Cincinnati for a time, and then entered the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was graduated with the class of 1916 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. After completing his studies, Mr. Kramer began the practice of his profession in the office of Murray Seasongood, with whom he remained until March, 1918. At this time he enlisted in the Three Hundred and Thirty-first regiment, Company M, Volunteer Infantry, and served overseas for fourteen months. On June 3, 1919, Mr. Kramer received his honorable discharge with the rank of regimental sergeant major, and then returned to Cincinnati, where he resumed his practice. He is now practicing successfully in partnership with Mr. Miller Outcalt, and is considered one of the best attorneys in Hamilton county. Fraternally, Mr. Kramer is a popular and valued member of the County Bar Association, the Chamber of Commerce and the Robert Bentley Post, of the American Legion. On the 12th day of January. 1921, at Cincinnati, Mr. Kramer was united in marriage with Miss Charlotte Katheryne Schultz, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, a daughter of John and Barbara (Dennie) Schultz.
