Gramling John Gramling has lived on a farm in northern Indiana his whole life. He has been a farmer, school teacher, operator of a grain elevator, and township trustee. For the last 25 years, he has been a carpenter/contractor, with an interest in specialty work with wood – designing and building unique tools for special projects. John also volunteered at the Little River Railroad, doing repairs and remodeling the old depot at Pleasant Lake, IN. John and his wife Pat now travel with Flagg Coal Co. #75 to most of its events. “We have met so many wonderful people,” says John. “It is rewarding to me to be able to help others learn about and enjoy a disappearing piece of history.”
