Obituary: Ozaukee County, Wisconsin: Albert KRAMER ************************************************************************ Submitted by Mary Saggio, August 2007 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ The Cedarburg Weekly News Cedarburg, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin July 16, 1884 A young man of seventeen, but the name of Albert KRAMER, who a few weeks ago came with his parents from Germany, while amusing himself last Sunday morning with a younger brother of about 14 years of age by trying to cross the Columbia Mill Pond on a couple of logs with some pickets or boards thrown over them, fell from this self-improvisioned raft into the water and was drowned. The younger brother was paralyzed with terror and could give no account at first, but said afterwards that his brother never appeared on the surface of the water again after he fell in, so that he had no chance of helping him on the raft again. The water was quite shallow all around except on the small place where the accident happened.
