The Cramer Cemetery is simply that . . . a private cemetery owned and used by the Cramer family for the burial of its members, friends, and neighbors. All the names on the tombstones can be traced to one of these connections, as discussed in the "Bass River Gazette", Issue #5, mentioned and linked above.

The oldest stones in the cemetery belong to the family of Isaac (1756-1839) and Dorcas (1766-1848) Cramer. Isaac's tombstone makes no mention of his service in the Revolution; however, the madellion and American flag properly identify him as a Revolutionary War veteran. Isaac was the grandson of Stephen Cramer, the original Cramer settler in the Bass River area, through Stephen's son Caleb.
