WRITE OF CENTER
My great-grandfather, John J. Kramer, is an inspiration in our family. He was a legal immigrant to America in 1870. Starting as a farmhand in Illinois, he hauled freight to Chicago with a team of oxen.
Eventually, he moved to Iowa and became a prosperous farmer. Today, more than 150 years later, I own his original farm.
