George married Margaret Eva (Keister) around 1867 in Germany. Arrived in U.S.A. in 1888.

They had 7 children: 1 that I cannot find records of.
Wilhelmine was #6 according to her birth records, so #7 was born sometime in the 1890's.

The 1900 census shows only 4 living children out of 7. One daughter traveled to the U.S.A., I don't know if she survived the boat or died after she landed.

Springdale Cemetery shows his name as John George Kramer, but on his faded stone you can only make out George Kramer and part of the dates. All papers I have shows George as his first name, but I recently found his death certificate, John George Kramer.
