Andrew Daniel Gramley (1873-1958), American minister, was the son of William L. and Amanda R. Gramley. He was born July 30, 1873 in Sugar Valley, Clinton County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Lock Haven High School in 1891. Gramley entered Central Pennsylvania College in New Berlin and received his bachelor's degree in 1894 and his Master's degree in 1897. Several years later, in 1911, he earned his bachelor of divinity degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, from which he also earned a doctorate in sacred theology.

He served as Secretary of the State of Missions Committee, and delegate to the Joint Committee for the Centennial Celebration in 1916. He was also co-editor of the Centennial Celebration volume and co-historian of the "History of the Central Pennsylvania Conference."
