General Notes: Husband - William Crawford


He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he spent his early life and received his school-ing. When a young man he settled in Arm-strong County, buying a farm at Cresswell, in Perry township, where he passed the rest of his life, dying there at the advanced age of eighty-six years. He became a large land owner, his holdings including considerable oil lands, and was widely known, having served twenty years as a justice of the peace. The area was all wild when he settled there, bears and other wild animals being numerous, and he cleared the property on which he contin-ued to make his home until his death. In politics he was a Republican, in religion a member of the M. E. Church.
