J. F. Schramm, J.P.,
AN old and well-respected resident of Kapunda, in which town he carried on an extensive business for a number of years. He took an active interest in all public matters, and for a term represented East Ward in the Town Council, and also held the position of Town Auditor. Subsequently, with his family, Mr. Schramm removed to Carrieton, where his interest in public affairs was still maintained, and here, as at Kapunda, he soon won and retained the esteem of all who knew him, and his name was added to the Commission of the Peace. Mr. Schramm was a native of Germany, where he was born in 1822. His death occurred at his daughter's residence, New Parkside, near Adelaide, on Sept. 11, 1885, in his sixty-third year.
