General Notes: Husband - John Watson Craig

---

He passed his boyhood on the farm at Welsh Run, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. At his father's death in 1855 he purchased a farm in the same vicinity as the home, and its cultivation occupied his attention until 1862, when he moved to the old Crossan farm, remaining there until 1864, when he went to Shippensburg, Cumberland County. In 1871 he went to Federal Hill, in Chambersburg, remaining until 1878, in 1875 being elected county commissioner. He purchased property in Mercersburg in 1879, removing there at that time, but in 1882 he returned to Chambersburg. He belonged to the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. For a number of years he was a director in the National Bank of Chambersburg.
