JOHN G. DRAMM (d. 1951)
John G. Dramm Dies Suddenly
John G. Dramm, owner-operator of a Park street floral shop, Manitowoc, and an
inventor, died suddenly Tuesday morning of a heart attack at his home, 1106
Nagel avenue, Manitowoc.
Mr. Dramm, who was 46 years of age, had been a patient at Holy Family hospital
on two occasions since shortly before Christmas. However, he had returned to
his home last Thursday after his condition showed improvement. Upon being
stricken Tuesday morning, the city ambulance was summoned to return him to the
hospital, but he died before its arrival.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced Wednesday by the
Pfeffer funeral home.
A son of the late John Sr. and Emma Dramm, the deceased was born in Manitowoc
in 1904. After attending the local Lutheran parochial school and the old
Washington high school, he was graduated from the Manitowoc Business college.
For several years he was employed by a Chicago floral firm and in 1926 returned
to Manitowoc to go into the florist business for himself in the Dramm building
on Park street.
In addition to conducting his florist business, Dramm also found considerable
time to devote to the invention of gadgets designed to speed up the assembling
of wreaths and other floral pieces.
Among his more successful innovations were a cramper, designed to prepare crepe
paper for use in decorating plants, a flowered greeting card which he called a
“carte de fleur,” an electric styraphone cutter and a water breaker for use in
greenhouse sprinkling. All of Mr. Dramm’s products were constructed and sold
from his Manitowoc floral shop.
For a number of years he was an active member of the Manitowoc Rotary club, having
been on the board of directors at the time of his death. He was also a member of
the First Lutheran congregation.
In 1930 Mr. Dramm married the former Miss Perdita Perham of Eveleth, Minn., who
was a teacher in the Manitowoc public school system at the time of their marriage.
Mr. Dramm survives her husband, with two sons, (private).
Also surviving are two brothers, Herman of Manitowoc and Eugene of Elmhurst, Ill.;
and two sisters, the Misses Marie and Elsa Dramm, both of Manitowoc.
