General Notes: Husband - Prof. Cephas L. Gramley
He had the benefit of life on a farm during his boyhood. When his intellectual advancement demanded better opportunities than were to be obtained in the local schools, he spent two terms at Clinton Seminary; but with the ardor of the genuine student he determined to secure further advantages. By teaching for a time he provided himself with the funds wherewith to carry him through two years at Susquehanna University, at Selins Grove, PA. After this he again engaged in teaching, and for seventeen years he taught in the Grammar School at Rebersburg. Beginning in 1875 he was more or less engaged in Normal School and institute work during the summer up to the time of his appointment to the county superintendency of schools in 1892. This work he helped to carry on at Milesburg in 1875-'76 and '77, and thereafter at Rebersburg. He had as high as seventy young men and women at a time whom he was preparing to follow the profession of teaching. He served out the unexpired term of his predecessor, and in 1893 was elected to the same office, and re-elected in 1896.
He and his wife were identified with the Lutheran Church, he was the chorister in both the Church and the Sabbath-school beginning in 1875. He was a charter member of Rebersburg Lodge No. 1031, I. O. O. F., organized in February, 1892, and he was the first Noble Grand, and first to fill all the chairs. In 1893 he represented his lodge at the General Lodge held at Reading, PA. He was also a practical surveyor and did work at times, as a recreation and relief, for his father, who worked in that line. In politics he was a Republican. [CBRCP: CCJC, 156]
