I have been searching for a long time for the death and burial of my great grandfather, Nicolas (Nicholas) Kramer (Cramer). He was living either in Pecatonica or Rockford, IL at the time of his death which had to have occurred between 1886 and 1897, guessing closer to 1890. He may have also died in Chicago according to family lore. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me - all my searching has turned up nothing on his death or burial. His wife's name was Elizabeth. His sons were John, Otto and Nicholas. Thanks in advance for any advice or research. Marilyn Davenport
