Now a little bit about Henry Kramer and Anna (Van Dyke) Kramer. Henry's dad died and his mother married Grandpa Kooy who was then Henry Kramer's step-father. Grandma Kooy lived in an apartment downstairs from Henry and Anna Kramer in Illinois. Every time we went to see her she would give us a string of rock candy. I think Grandpa Kooy died before we were born. - Marian Oosterman
