T. J. Kremer
Source: The Monroe County Beacon Woodsfield,
Not in recent years, if ever, was news of a death received
more as a surprise and shock than that of the death of Judge T. J. Kremer
Monday afternoon, January 14, 1951, about 2 o’clock. He had been in his usual
health and held a session in Common pleas Court from 9:00 to 9:45 in the
forenoon.
At the conclusion of his work, he began to feel
uncomfortable and hurried across the street to his home. Mrs. Kremer summoned
medical aid at once and he seemed relieved but a severe heart attack resulted
in his death a few hours later. He was the last member of his family.
Judge Kremer was born at
Mr. Kremer served two terms as prosecuting attorney of
In 1944 he was elected Common Peas Judge for a six-year term
and last fall was reelected without opposition and on January 2nd had begun his
second term.
During the last illness and after the death of Judge A. C.
McDougal, Judge Kremer served as Acting Probate Judge for several months in
addition to his own work.
On November 28, 1905, Mr. Kremer was united in marriage with
Miss Eloise Weisend at Woodsfield where they have lived ever since. They reared
a family of ten children all of whom are living. The parents lived to realize
the glory of age, that of seeing their children out in the world making good.
They are Mrs. Byron (Ruth) Gillespie and Mrs. Burris
(Eloise) Decker of Woodsfield; Mrs. Robert (Hortense) Arther, of Cuyahoga Falls,
Ohio; Mrs. Robert (Margaret) King, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. John (Betty)
Edmonds, of Alexandria, Virginia; Atty. T. J. Kremer, Jr. of Woodsfield;
Frederick, of Cuyahoga Falls; William of Skokie, Illinois; George of Arlington,
Virginia; and John with the navy in Japan.
As in most large families, they enjoyed many good times
together. The death of the husband and father is the first break in the family
circle.
Judge Kremer was a charter member of the Woodsfield Kiwanis
Club and a member of the Monroe County Bar Association.
He was companionable and friendly in disposition, realistic
in his legal and judicial approaches to problems and sought to know the facts
on which to base actions and decisions.
Several years ago, he was actively engaged in the oil
business as a producer and operator both in

During the last year when Mr. Christman was unable to go to
town for supplies his neighbors and friends helped him out considerably,
especially did he depend upon the faithful assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Weber, his closest neighbor.
All of those who knew Mr. Christman and visited him remember
his patience and faith in all of his conversation. Although he was unable to be
an active member of the Church during these past years, he remained a faithful
Christian thru his personal devotions and the inspiration from the Bible and
radio worship services. This past fall he wrote a request in a strong hand,
influenced some by the German script. The request was for the sacrament of
communion. After participation in Communion with his wife, he again received
the strength of the love and communion with his Master Christ. May God bless
all of those who remain faithful unto death.
The family and relatives wish to express their sincere
appreciation and thanks for all of the kindness and expressions of
neighborliness that have been shown toward Mr. William Christman and his
family.
