WILLIAM SCHRAMM: Among the most healthful and prosperous of clergymen are those who seek recreation from their pulpit duties in the garden and the fields, and, it would seem, should have the truest appreciation of the works of Nature and of God. The subject of this sketch, one of the most efficient and worthy of his joint calling, minister and farmer, owns a fine tract of land in Clatonia Township comprising 160 acres on section 13. In addition to general agriculture, he is largely interested in stockraising, and has been very successful in his labors. A native of Nassau, Germany, our subject, born on the 10th of May, 1823, and is the third son of Peter and Elizabeth Schramm, whose family consisted of eight children, four sons and daughters. In common with most children of the Fatherland, young William received an education in his native tongue, besides home training in those habits of industry to he is indebted for his position today. When youth of sixteen years, he began learning the of a carpenter, which he followed for some time, then entered the Prussian army, to which he gave his services for eight years. During this period occurred the Baden Revolution of 1848, and he saw considerable active fighting, participating in one severe engagement but escaping unhurt. Mr. Schramm received his discharge from the regular army in 1850, and in December of the year following, was united in marriage with Miss Margaretta Schaab, a native of his own Province, and born Feb. 5, 1829. Mrs. Schramm is the daughter of Jacob and Margaret Schaab, and of her union with our subject, there have been born nine children, eight of whom are living, namely: Henry, at home; Phillip is a minister of the German Methodist Episcopal Church in Oregon, Mo.; George; William; Mary, the wife of John Unland; Theresa; Mrs. Daniel Roser; Eliza; and Lilly. Albert died when one year old. All the children were born in Illinois. In the spring of 1852, our subject with his little family, embarked on a sailing vessel at Bremen, for the New World. After a stormy voyage of fifty-six days, they landed in New York City, and thence proceeded directly to Schuyler County, Ill., where our subject began farming. He was a resident there until 1872, then came to this county, and located on the farm in Clatonia Township, which he has since occupied. He purchased at the time, a half-section of land from the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Company, paying therefor, $8 per acre. Several years ago, he sold half of this, but still owns 160 acres, which is fairly well developed. The property of our subject, is the result of his own industry and economy, ably assisted by an intelligent and devoted wife, who has ever been his cheerful helpmate and counselor. Both are members of the German Methodist Episcopal Church, and by their quiet and well ordered lives, they have earned the friendship and confidence of all who know them. Since 1862, Mr. Schramm has given much of his time to ministerial labor. He was one of the founders of the church in Clatonia Township, and to it has always given a cordial and liberal support. He and his estimable wife, now in their declining years, are surrounded by the comforts which they have so justly earned. Their children rise up to call them blessed and their neighbors and friends bear testimony to the good influence which they have exerted upon those around them.
