General Notes: Husband - James W. Crawford

---

He began his education in an old log schoolhouse. After the removal of the family to Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, he continued his studies in the public schools during the winter, while during the summer months he worked in his father's store, and in his employ also spent one year in the lumber business in Clearfield County. In 1850 he came to North Bend (then known as Young Womanstown) where he worked in the general store of his father and Michael Quigley, and also looked after other business interests of his father, remaining in their employ for four years, during which time he managed to save some money. He then purchased his father's interest in the store for $1,300, and, in partnership with Mr. Quigley, carried on business until in 1861 with good success. He then turned his attention to the lumber business, buying timber and engaging in the manufacture of lumber and shipping it to different points, and in this enterprise he was connected with Gammel, White & Co., for several years. His farm in Chapman township was comprised of 117 acres which he purchased in 1877. On this place in 1855 he erected a comfortable residence where he made his home, surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life.
Being an ardent Democrat, Mr. Crawford was elected on that ticket, in 1885, associate judge of Clinton County, and in 1890 he was again the nominee of his party, and was also endorsed by the Republican party, which made no nomination against him, thus being elected without opposition, a fact which indicates his popularity and the confidence and trust reposed in him by his fellow-citizens. For fifteen years he served as school director in Chapman township, and at the same time also served as auditor, but after the law was passed preventing a citizen from holding the two offices at once, he resigned the latter. He belonged to Lock Haven Lodge No. 199, F. & A. M.; Lock Haven Lodge No. 182, P. B. O. E., and with his family was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
