Century Memorial
William Schramm was one of our New York business men who came to us from Europe. Born in Germany and initiated into mercantile pursuits in Switzerland, he came to the United States in 1879. His personality was cheerful, he enjoyed life, and was ready with a hearty greeting for the lunch-table company.
