Botanist pharmacognosist scientist
Henry Kraemer was born on July 22, 1868 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the only son of John Henry and Caroline Kraemer, both of whom died when he was four years old.
At the age of nine Kraemer entered Girard College, from which he graduated in 1883. Three years later, while serving his apprenticeship in the drugstore of C. B. Lowe, he entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He completed the course in 1889 and was awarded the John M. Maisch and Henry C. Lea prizes for his thesis, "A Microscopical and Chemical Study of White Oak Bark, " in which he demonstrated, already, a leaning toward pharmacognosy.
In 1891 he matriculated in the school of mines of Columbia University, from which he received the degree of bachelor of philosophy in 1895.
Kraemer spent at the University of Marburg, Germany, where he studied botany under Prof. Dr. Arthur Meyer and attended lectures on philosophy, chemistry, and physics. He received the degree of doctor of philosophy cum laude, the title of his inaugural dissertation being "Viola tricolor L. , in morphologischer, anatomischer and biologischer Beziehung. "
Kraemer was assistant to Prof. Samuel P. Sadtler, in chemistry, at the University of Pennsylvania, and the year after his graduation he was appointed instructor in botany and pharmacognosy in the New York College of Pharmacy.
He was appointed professor of botany, pharmacognosy, and materia medica in the school of pharmacy of Northwestern University, but was granted a year's leave before taking up his teaching work.
Returning to the United States, he took up his duties at Northwestern University, but after a year was elected to the chair of botany and pharmacognosy in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He held this position until 1917, when he accepted the chair of pharmacognosy and pharmacy in the school of pharmacy at the University of Michigan. Two years later he was appointed dean of the school, but retired in 1920 and devoted his few remaining years to research in his chosen field.
He was a loyal member of many scientific societies and served actively on their committees. He was editor of the American Journal of Pharmacy, 1899-1917, reporter on the progress of pharmacy for the American Pharmaceutical Association, 1892-95; and collaborator on the Pharmaceutical Review.
He was the author of A Text Book of Botany and Pharmacognosy (1902), Applied and Economic Botany (1914), Scientific and Applied Pharmacognosy (1915), and was botanical editor of The Dispensatory of the United States of America (20th edition, 1918).

On December 26, 1894, he married Theodosia Ernest Rich of Asheville, North Carolina. Although a daughter was born to this union, it was not entirely happy, and there was a separation in 1919. In 1922, Kraemer married Minnie Behm of Mount Clemens, Michigan, who had been his secretary and assistant at the University of Michigan.
