Stanley Cramer Remember his Ancestors

William Rawle was a Jehovah Witness and never joined the church even though his wife, Elizabeth Selvey, and children were baptized into the LDS church. He first came to America to earn money so that he could get the whole family to America. They came to America when Amy Rawle was 8 years old. Elizabeth Selvey was a feisty English women who wore high button up boots.
The family first settled in Nova Scotia and farmed until they finally had enough money to settle in Salt Lake City. Amy Rawle loved to travel and that might have been the reason she meet Walter Cramer because he never left the state of Idaho except for his wedding in the Salt Lake Temple. They must have had a brief meeting in Ucon, Idaho and continued their courting through letters. When they got married they moved to Ucon to farm, but ended up losing the farm in foreclosure. The agreement was that Walter would work on the farm with his father Peter Cramer but because the farm was mortgaged and it went into foreclosure they lost it and their profession. There was always hard feelings for Minnie Hitt who was in the banking industry and is the one who foreclosed on them. The farm was a mile west of Ucon and it was 40 acres. They would also have cattle up at Wolverine.
After they lost the farm Walter had a few different professions. He would become a carpenter to support their family. He also worked for the Boise Lumber Company and he would sell feed and grain.
They had a friend Lon who convinced the family to move out to Mud Lake and farm. That lasted a year before they moved back to Ucon. They didn't have success and barely broke even. When it was time for planting they wondered how they could accomplish it. Stanley and Richard were out plowing with one plow and Walter was sick. It was late in the season and they had to plow 40 acres. That is when high priest from their ward came driving plows and machines to get the seeds in the earth. This was a huge blessing for the family. In the fall their was a hailstorm and the guy next to them harvested it for them and it was enough to pay off the seed loan but that was it. Stanley was just 17 years old and Evan was in the military.
As for Peter Cramer he moved to Goshen to raise sugar beets. He couldn't get a loan so Walter Cramer had to sign on the note and they moved to Goshen to raise sugar beets and help harvest the beets. This is where Stanley Cramer learned to hate beets.
Stanley also made his own wedding ring out of a stainless steel. He was working on a Ford and the ring got caught on the emblem and after that he didn't like wearing rings. His favorite ice cream is strawberry ice cream cause that is the only kind.
