General Notes: Husband - Charles D. Crandall

---

He was born in Almond, New York. Four years later his family moved to Warren, Pennsylvania, and he attended the elementary and high schools of that city. He then became a student at Helmuth College, London, Ontario. After completing his education Mr. Crandall entered the employ of the First National Bank of Warren, where he remained for nineteen months. His next position was with the banking house of N. M. Crane & Company, of Hornell, New York, where he was employed for five years; and he then became associated with the Empire Refining Company in New York City, a subsidiary company of the Standard Oil Company, spending ten years with this concern, six of which were in the post of cashier and head of the New York office. In 1890 he resigned this position and returned to Warren to assist his father-in-law, the late Judge S. P. Johnson, of Warren, in his private affairs, and later acted as executor of his estate. Mr. Crandall also became interested in various industries in Warren during the years that followed. In 1899 he was elected to the office of register and recorder and clerk of the Orphans' Court of Warren County and held this post until 1906. Since 1915 he has been engaged in the management of a general insurance business under his own name, with offices in the Warren National Bank Building.
Mr. Crandall was well known as an authority on local history, particularly in relation to the Indians who previously inhabited the vicinity. At the time of the Warren Centennial Exposition, in 1895, he was a member of the committee to arrange for the period from 1795 to 1835 in the history of Warren, and it was at his suggestion that an Indian village was made a part of the exposition. For more than two months he devoted his entire time to this particular feature, with the result that over three hundred Seneca Indians were brought to Warren during the exposition, coming from various reservations along the Allegheny River, and the Cattaraugus Reservation in New York State. Following the exposition, in 1895, the Warren Historical Society was formed, and Mr. Crandall was made its first secretary. He was a founder and member of the Warren Outing Club, charter member of the Conewango Fishing Club, and a member of various civic organizations and other social clubs. Aside from fishing and other outdoor sports, Mr. Crandall's favorite hobbies are arranging private theatricals for church benefits and other societies, and delving into the history of the American Indians. He attended the Presbyterian Church, and fraternally was affiliated with Warren Lodge, No. 223, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of which he was Past Exalted Ruler and a life member.
