"This week we have to chronicle the death of the youngest and last surviving member of that sturdy race of pioneers - the Crams. Daniel Cram was born in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland on April 25, 1813 and died August 6, 1896, being at the time of his death 83 years of age. He was the youngest of nine children, six boys and three girls, born to Peter Cram and Janet Kay, his wife.

"John, the eldest, came over to this country in 1818 and after casting about for a place to locate, finally settled on the 11th concession of Beckwith, being one of the first settlers. The father was so well pleased with the liberal concessions made to the early settlers by the colonial government that he decided to follow John over. Accordingly, two years after, with his entire family, except for Catherine, who died at home, he set sail on the good ship ?i?Ben Lomond ?/i?and after a stormy voyage of nine weeks by land and water, landed at the eldest son's primitive log shanty. The family settled on the place afterwards owned by David and at present occupied by Samuel Cram. A number of the sons took up separate grants and settled right around the old homestead, but Daniel, being too young to avail himself of this privilege until all the land was gone, his father bought him 150 acres from Captain Glendinning on Glen Isle.

"In December 1837 Daniel was married by Rev. William Bell of Perth to Christina McDiarmid. Three children blessed this union: Samuel G, deceased; Elizabeth, now Mrs Peter Sinclair of Scotch Corners; and Henry W, deceased. His first wife died in March of 1844 and on the 30th of October 1845, at Brockville, he was married to Elizabeth Harkness, who survives him. Ten children resulted: Margaret, deceased, who married Thomas Allan of Perth; William C of Raleigh, NC; Jessie, wife of Samuel Waugh of Waterville, NY; Daniel, on the homestead; Robert H at Ottawa; Peter at New York; Josiah, deceased; George D, deceased; Florence A, wife of Frank Nielson of this place; Katie, at home."
