Ella Cramer, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Cramer, was born on Dec. 2, 1884 near Hemlock in the Town of Warner (Clark Co., Wis.).  She received her early education in Clark County.  In 1912 she was united in marriage to Edward R. Wachsmuth in a ceremony performed in Neillsville.  The couple made their home on a farm in the village of Withee for two years before moving to the Wachsmuth homestead five miles east of Owen on Highway 29.  Here they resided for six years until 1920 when they moved to Owen.
