General Notes: Husband - Henry M. Ritter


His great-grandfather, Benjamin Crane, was a native of England, and in an early day settled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was engaged in farming. Christiana Crane, his widow, a native of Berks County, died in Carlisle, at the advanced age of one hundred and four years, retaining her mind and being quite active to the last. Her death was caused by a fall and from fright during the bombarding of Carlisle by the rebels in 1863, a shell bursting in her room.

He attended the public schools of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, until thirteen years of age, and then entered Dickinson College, where he remained one year. He next entered Eastman's Business College, at Poughkeepsie, New York, from which he was graduated in 1863. He then returned to Carlisle and embarked in the merchant tailor business, succeeding his father.
