General Notes: Husband - Samuel Crawford

---

He attended the subscription and public schools of North Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and was reared to farming from early life. He followed farming until his enlistment for service in the Union army, in 1864, when he joined Company B, 74th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, under Captain Wilson, of Punxsutawney, and Colonel Rhobeck. He served until the close of the war, receiving his honorable discharge in August, 1865, at Clarksburg, West Virginia, and was mustered out at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His principal service was in West Virginia, doing guard duty. Upon his return to Indiana County Mr. Crawford commenced farming for himself in Canoe township, on the W. P. Morris tract of 185 acres, where he followed general agricultural pursuits and stock raising. He erected a substantial house, barn and other buildings, and made numerous improvements on the property. In 1886 he gave up the active work of farming, his son then operating the place, but Mr. Crawford continued to make his home there. For thirteen years or more he served as postmaster at Rochester Mills, having been appointed Feb. 16, 1900, under President McKinley, by Hon. Emery Smith, of Philadelphia, then postmaster general. Mr. Crawford also filled other local offices, having been assessor of Canoe township eleven years, school director, and a member of the election board. His political connection was with the Republican party. He was a member of the G. A. R., Post No. 28, at Indiana, and in religious association was a Presbyterian, belonging to the church at Rochester Mills and serving as trustee of same.
