Children

General Notes: Husband - H. W. Kreamer


He obtained a fair education in the district schools near his home. On leaving the farm at the age of fourteen, he en­tered the store of Gross Boger & Co., in Rebersburg, PA, where he began clerking for $4 per month, but during the five years he was in the employ of that firm his wages were increased. Later he embarked in general merchandising on his own account in the same place, and subsequently engaged in farming at Spring Bank, Miles town­ship, Centre County, for eleven years. Coming to Centre Hall, in 1884, he became a member of the well-known firm of Harper & Kreamer, general merchants, who were the first to successfully compete with the old established stores of that place. In April, 1896, he became sole owner of the business, which was later con­ducted under the firm style of Kreamer & Son.


General Notes: Wife - Maggie Hanna
