CASSIUS CLAY CRAM.  One of the most universally beliked lawyers at the
Grant County bar, and one of the most popular citizens of Grant County
is Judge Cassius Clay Cram.  Honest, conscious and absolutely fearless, 
he is the ideal judge, and his judgment and interpretation of the law 
is almost perfect.  Judge Cram is a son of Willard Glidden Cram and Mrs.
Mariah (McDonald) Cram, and was born in the county of Kenton on the 
17th day of October, 1847.  He grew up to manhood's estate on his 
father's farm attending the common schools of the neighborhood in the 
winter time and working on his father's farm in the summer and cropping 
season.  When he was fourteen years old he attended the high school, 
then under the professorship of William P. Jones, at Flag Springs, 
Campbell County, two terms, and one term at Independence under the 
same able teacher.  In 1865-'66 he attended the Kentucky University for 
two sessions, but did not take a degree.  After completing his education
he taught school in this State and Kansas for three years, and during 
this time took up the study of law.  Was admitted to the bar of the 
Grant Circuit Court at the June term, 1874, and immediately took a high 
position in the profession which he has practiced at this bar from that 
time until this with great success.  Judge Cram was united in marriage 
to Mrs. Araminta Sanford on the 1st day of May, 1873, and to this union 
four children have been born, all of are now living as follows: Mrs. 
Musetta, wife of C. C. Loomis; Henry Cram, a young lawyer of much 
promise in Cincinnati, Ohio; Miss May and W. Glyd Cram students of much 
promise in Center College at Danville, Kentucky.  In 1873 Judge Cram
moved to Williamstown and took up residence at this place and began the
active practice of law, and he has continued to reside here from that
time until the present.  In politics Judge Cram and all of his people 
have always been Democrats, working always for the advancement of the 
interest of the party.  In 1878 he was nominated and elected by the 
Democratic party of Grant County to the office of County Attorney, and 
made a most excellent official.  He served one full term of four years. 
In 1883 he was elected a member of the General Assembly of Kentucky as 
the member from Grant County, and served with much ability and 
distinction in that body.  In 1886 he was nominated and elected County 
Judge of Grant County on the Democratic ticket, and was re-elected at 
the close of his first term, serving in all eight years in this 
responsible position, and, be it said to his credit, that he made one 
of the best judges the county has ever had.  Judge Cram is an active 
member of the Christian Church and of the I.O.O.F., and prominent in 
all matters that are for the advancement of the interest of his county 
and people.  It is generally understood that Judge Cram will become a 
candidate for the office of Circuit Court Judge of this judicial
district at the close of Judge John W. Green's present term.  As a
lawyer Judge Cram takes exceedingly high rank and is especially at home 
on the bench.
