One of Troy's Best Known Citizens Dead at Lake George -
LeGrand Cannon Cramer, one of the best known citizens of Troy and a lineal descendant of one of the oldest families in this section, died late yesterday afternoon at his summer home at Lake George. He was in his eighty-first year. Death was due to heart attack which he suffered about a month ago and which became intense yesterday.
Born in Troy.
Mr. Cramer was born in this city in March, 1843, and was the son of George H. Cramer and Henrietta Knox Cannon. George H. Cramer was a son of John Cramer, who was born near Bemis Heights in May, 1779, and died in Waterford in 1870. The latter was a son of Conrad Cramer, who was at the head of a
branch of the Cramer family which settled south of Schuylerville just before the American Revolution. John Cramer became a noted lawyer and politician
and served in the state Legislature. It was said that for more than fifty years he dictated every nomination on the Democratic ticket in Saratoga County.
In his younger days he was connected with the firm of J. M. Warren & Co. Later he retired to manage his personal interests, of which he had many. He was for many years active in the Directorate of the United National Bank. He was President of the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad, the Troy and Greenbush Railroad and the Saratoga and Schenectady Railroad, and was Vice President of the Albany and Vermont Railroad Company. He was a member of the Troy Club, Troy Lodge of Elks and the Albany Country Club.
For many years he was a communicant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and always took an active part in church work. Mr. Cramer's home in Troy was at 82 First Street, but for many years he resided in one of the most pretentious summer homes on Lake George. It was here that his mother died in 1899.
Mr. Cramer is survived by his wife, who was Mary Wilmerding of New York before her marriage; one daughter, Mrs. E. C. Reardon, wife of an English army officer; two sons, George H. Cramer of Santa Barbara, CA, and Dr. William Wilmerding Cramer of New York, and one sister, Mrs. Dunkin Van Rensselaer Johnston of Albany.
Former Member of Citizens' Corps.
Prior to 1862 Mr. Cramer joined the Troy Citizens' Corps. In February, 1876, he was appointed an additional Lieutenant in the Company and in 1877 he was commissioned a second Lieutenant. Later he was promoted to First Lieutenant and held that position until succeeded by James L. Thompson five or six years afterward.
Funeral services will be held at Lake George Friday and later in the Earl Memorial Chapel at Oakwood Cemetery."
Thanks very much,
