General Notes: Husband - Titus M. Gramley


At an early age his intellectual bent became apparent, and after attending school in the Harter district in Miles township, Centre County, PA, until he had com­pleted the course offered there, he pursued his studies in the County Normal School at Milesburg, preparing himself for teaching. His plans were carried out in the face of discouraging circumstances, the work at home requiring much of his time. Through strenuous efforts he suc­ceeded, however, and when but a few months past sixteen he took charge of a school in Porter township, Clinton County, where he at once estab­lished a reputation as an efficient disciplinarian and instructor. This success stimulated his ambi­tion, and he entered Penn Hall Academy, then conducted by Prof. Wolfe, and fitted himself for college; but he was then persuaded to return to the district where he had taught his first term, and again take the school. He spent three terms there, receiving an increase of salary each term, and then taught the grammar school at Mackeyville. His abilities once shown, his services were in de­mand, and he continued to teach for fourteen terms, the summer seasons being spent in farm work. He holds certificates of all grades, includ­ing a State certificate. On retiring from the work of teaching, he entered into partnership with his brother, C. L. Gramley, in a general mercantile business at Rebersburg; but his health becoming impaired he sold out after two years of successful work in this line, and decided to fol­low agricultural pursuits. In connection with farming he taught school during the winter sea­sons until 1888, and in July of that year he formed a partnership in the creamery business with R. G. Eisenhart in the Spring Mills Cream­ery Company, limited, a stock company. [CBRCP:CCJC, 152]
