This from the July 24, 1901 Schuylerville Standard:
Another of the leading citizens of
Troy has been claimed by death.
George H. Cramer, whose life ended
Monday night at his summer home on
Lake George, for a generation held a
prominent place among the residents of
Troy, and long had been looked upon
as one of the ablest financiers and men
of business in Troy. In the early days
of railroad building he was one of the
most active in that branch of local
enterprise, and the faith he had in the
future of the railway business brought
him rich rewards. In later years he
was interested mainly in problems of
banking and general finance, and his
advice was accounted as valuable. Mr.
Cramer led a busy and a useful life.
He was philanthropic in an unostentatious
way, permitting few to know
where and how he expended his money
for the benefit of his fellow men. To
the last be was mentally active and re-
tained his interest in all that had to do
with Troy and its institutions. He
leaves a long line of friends and busi-
ness acquaintances who will mourn his
loss deeply.
