**********
Marcus Cramer is the father of Jesse Cramer, who was an usher for Mark and Ruth's wedding on the 30th of December. Marcus is also Stillman's 1st cousin. He was the son of Richard, Catherine Cramer's brother. They lived at 24 Alvey Street in Schenectady in 1920. Jesse was still not married by 1942, still living at home and working for GE. He died in 1969 and is buried in Carlisle, NY, with the rest of his Cramer family. Below is a picture of the house where the Cramers lived in 1920 as it looked in 2011. It's about 2.8 miles from the Clossons' house, so it looks like Hanford & Stanford had a good walk.
