Tritt Family Research lost another of its longtime members on March 4, 2015. Gladys Cramer of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, died at age 94. Born in Shippensburg on August 20, 1920, Gladys had a deep interest in music all her life. At an early age, she learned to play the piano, then the organ. Later in life she operated a music store and gave piano and organ lessons. She served as church organist at no less than five churches over 75 years. Some of those years she was organist at two churches at the same time, when she would play for services at one church, then travel to the other church and play for services there. She continued as a church organist until she was 90. Matthius John Heller and Helen Maude (Tritt) Heller were Gladys’ parents. Helen Tritt was a daughter of David F. Tritt, who was a son of John Tritt, who was a son of Peter Tritt (b. 1755). This Peter Tritt is the progenitor of the many Tritt family lines emanating from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was a son of Hans Peter Tritt, Jr., one of the first two Tritts known to immigrate to America in 1739. The 1906 family tree available from Tritt Family Research details several generations from Peter Tritt (1755). Gladys became part of Tritt Family Research in the early 1980s. Usually in the company of her daughter, Jeanette Cramer Miller, who also joined TFR then, Gladys rarely missed a meeting. Although she was not a genealogist, Gladys was always waiting to do whatever she could to assist in the work of the organization. Gladys and Jeanette travelled on the three TFR visits to our ancestral homeland in Switzerland in 1989, 1993, and 1997. When we visited our ancestors’ church in St. Stephan, Gladys played the organ for us, sounding as though she’d often played that 100+ year old instrument. Gladys is survived by her husband, Calvin, Jeanette, and son, David, and his wife, Patti. Gladys lived her long life well, and her passing is a loss to Tritt Family Research as well as to her family.
