General Notes: Husband - John H. Crawford

---

He was reared on the farm and received his education in the public schools. He chose farming for his life work and made a success of it, acquiring the fine farm of 125 acres in Greene township, and a comfortable home of his own in Fayetteville. He was one of the active citizens of his community for more than forty years and occupied a substantial position among his fellow citizens. He was a member and earnest worker in the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as deacon for several years, and in politics, like his father, was a stanch Republican. Socially he was connected with Lodge No. 235, K. P., and Stevens Post, G. A. R., both of Fayetteville, and for thirty-six years or more he was one of the leading members of the Fayetteville Brass Band.
He served on the Union side during the Civil war, having enlisted in July, 1863, as bugler in Company D, 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry, Capt. J. C. Hollinger; he saw service in the Shenandoah Valley, and was mustered out Feb. 20, 1864.
