General Notes: Husband - William Allison Crawford

---

He spent his boyhood days on the home farm, and at the age of twenty went to Erie, Pennsylvania, and there clerked in a dry goods store for a Mr. Wright. In the year 1849 he went to Chicago, Illinois, and served in the capacity of salesman in a mercantile establishment there. In 1857 he returned to Erie City and engaged in the dry goods business on his own account. Upon the breaking out of the Civil War he entered the government service as a sutler and was stationed at Baltimore, Maryland, remaining about three years. Upon his return to Erie, Pennsylvania, he became a member of the dry goods firm of Southard, Crawford & McCord, and subsequently, for five years, was interested in the same line of business in the oil fields of Pennsylvania. In 1900 he erected a house for himself and family in Waterford township and resided there, retired, until the death of his wife, when he removed to Waterford and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Judson Walker. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a liberal contributor to its various societies and activities. He was a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, affiliating with the lodge at Erie.
