Nicholas Kramer 1, 2 was born 3 in 1843 in France. He died 4 in 1927 in Allegheny Co., PA. He was buried 5 in Braddock Catholic Cemetery, Braddock, PA. He married 6, 7 Catherine Welsh about 1865 in St. Thomas Church, Braddock, Allegheny, Pa.
At the time of the 1870 census, Nicholas Kramer (30) lived in Pittsburgh's 10th Ward. Other members of the household were Catherine Kramer (25), Kate Kramer (4), John Kramer (2), Anna Kramer (2 mos), and Christopher Kramer (18). The 1870 census does not indicate the relationship of the people in the household to each other. One possibility is that Nicholas and Catherine were husband and wife, the youngsters were their children, and Christopher was a brother or cousin of Nicholas. According to the census, Everyone in the household was born in France except Anna. This conflicts with later census data.
In 1880, 40 year old laborer Nicholas Kramer lived in the third precinct of Mifflin Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania with his wife Catherine (35) and children Mary (13), George (12), Sarah (10), Elizabeth (8), Laura B. (4) and Anthony (1). The three oldest children attended school. All of the children were born in Pennsylvania. Nicholas was a native of France, as were his parents. Elizabeth was born in New York; her parents were Irish.
One wonders if the two families found in the 1870 and 1880 census are the same family. The names and ages of the parents match, as do the ages of the children. However, the childrens' names are different in the two censuses, as are their birthplaces. The childrens' names in the 1880 census match those provided by Sister Eugenia for the most part.
In 1900, Nicholas Kramer (51 - Oct 1848), his wife Catherine (53 - Feb 1846) and their children Laura (22 - Jun 1878) and Joseph (17 - Apr 1883) owned a home at 21 Holland Ave. in the third ward of Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Nicholas, a native of France, came to America in 1864 and was a naturalized citizen. According to the census, he married Catherine shortly after arriving in this country. Nicholas's occupation is "engineer sta." The census states that Catherine and her parents were natives of New York. The children were born in Pennsylvania. Everyone in the household could read and write.
According to Sister Eugenia Maurer, Nicholas worked in the Salt Works on the Salt Mill Run near Whttaker.
