CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Served with 10th Minnesota Infantry, Co. H
Few men were better known in this city and county than Edward A. Cramsie who died at his late home, 900 Spring street N. E., Thursday morning, of pneumonia at the age of 54 years. It was a pity that so naturally bright a man as poor Ed. Cramsie had been so unfortunate in his closing years. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, pleasant and agreeable among his fellow men and at one time took a most active Interest not only in affairs pertaining to his own city but in state and national affairs as well. He was a blacksmith by trade and came to this state in 1856. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the Tenth Minnesota Infantry and served with credit to himself and country to its close. In 1875 he removed from St. Paul to Minneapolis and engaged in business here for himself. About this time he took great interest in the greenback movement and was elected a delegate to the national greenback convention later on he was candidate of the same party for sheriff of Hennepin county. He leaves a wife, three daughters and one son to mourn their loss. The funeral of deceased took place from the church of St. Anthony Padua this (Saturday) afternoon.
