CARL KRAMER 
We regret to announce the death on April 14 of Carl Kramer, of 
Princeton, a member of Illinois Audubon Society and charter 
member of the Bureau Vollay Audubon Club. During the club’s 
17 years of existence, Mr. Kramer had served continuously as an 
officer, the past ten years as treasurer. He was also compiler 
for the Christmas Bird Count. 
He will be greatly missed in this community. He loved his 
home, his church, and was much interested in our Illinois herit-

Community Concert Series. He was a veteran of World War I. 
He is survived by Mrs. Kramer, the former Margaret Helen
