Death of William W. Kremer,
William W. Kremer, formerly a resident of Emporia, [Kansas] died at his home in Lena, Ill., September 10 [1912].
He was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, August 5, 1832. January 25, 1856, he was married to Miss Sarah Ann Oberdorf, who died June 23, 1889. Three children were born to them. November 11, 1861, Mr. Kremer enlisted as sergeant in Company F, Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania, in which he served for nearly two years, receiving an honorable discharge on account of disability. He afterward came to Emporia, where he lived for twenty-five years, conducting a business as tobacconist.
Mr. Kremer was married at Freeport, Ill., October 17, 1900, to Mrs. Jennie Spiller. They lived there a year and then went to Lena, which has since been their home.
Mr. Kremer was converted at the age of 20, and was actively engaged in religious work until failing health compelled him to desist. He was a man who had the esteem of all who knew him. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, in which organization he held the office of deacon.
Besides his wife he is survived by two sons, William H., of Conneaut, Ohio, and Jacob F., of Chicago. He also leaves a brother, Harry Kremer, of Selinsgrove, Pa., and a sister, Mrs. Catharine Enderline [sic, Enterline], of Milton, Pa.

Would like to make contact with other Kremer and/or Spiller researchers. William also had a daughter, Catherine Kremer, who may have married and remained in Kansas, but currently have no clues what became of her.
