J.E. CROSBY
History of Arizona, page 43

One of the most progressive, able and enterprising of the 
younger members of the Arizona bar is J.E. Crosby, practicing 
in Holbrook, who served in a creditable and able manner as 
county attorney of Navajo County for three years. He was born 
in Utah, on the 31st of March 1880 and is a son of George H. 
and Sarah H. (Brown) Crosby, the former of whom went to that 
state with his parents in 1847.  After he reached manhood he 
engaged in contracting in Utah until 1885 when he came to 
Arizona and turned his attention to ranching. He became well 
known and prominent in public affairs, serving in the 
territorial legislature in 1895 and doing a great deal of 
constructive, farsighted and able work in the advancement 
of community interests.

After acquiring his early education in the public schools of 
Arizona, J.E. Crosby attended the Agricultural College in Utah 
for two years and then began studying law, graduating from the 
law department of the University of Michigan on the 10th of 
June 1910. He came immediately afterward to Holbrook, Arizona 
and here his ability and knowledge of law have made him 
successful in the conduct of a great deal of important 
litigation.  In addition to his private practice he has 
served as county attorney of Navajo County to which office 
he was elected in 1911 and served until 1914.

Mr. Crosby gives his political alegiance to the Republican party 
and althought not a politican takes an intelligent and active 
interest in the welfare of the community, where practically 
his entire life has been spent.
