Howard was killed in the Reading Railroad Massacre. Rioters and bystanders were fired on by federal troops and militia brought in from other parts of the state to quell the local uprising during the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.
"Howard Cramp was picked up on Penn street, a little above Esterley's store at 8.30 o'clock, and was carried into the drug store where he died. The boy was no rioter, but a peaceable and quiet boy, and was there simply as a spectator. Ball entered immediately above the hip on the left side and passed out on a level on the right side."
