My thanks to all who replied to my plea for help in locating the
tombstone inscriptions for the Kramers. It was a day of thanks to
volunteers. I checked back to a website for Ontario that has volunteers
posting government Vital Statistics on a daily basis and there was the
entry for Christopher's third marriage. Her name was Elizabeth Judge
and she was a widow. She accompanied Christopher and four of the
children to Indiana. He left his youngest in Canada to be raised by his
first wife's family.
I was also able to find a previous connection to Indiana. I re-examined
some records and found that a member of his fist wife's family was a
witness at a wedding in Kent County, Ontario of a Peru, Miami County
resident. The details follow for anyone who might have an interest in
this family.
The question marks are the transcribers.
