His father moved to Canada, and settled at Scarboro, Province of Ontario, in the year 1840. At the age of 23, Brother CRAWFORD came to Louisville, Ky (Jefferson County), and one year later he moved to Stephensport, Ky (Breckinridge County), to engage in the tobacco business in partnership with Charles E. COUTY, in which business he spent the remainder of his life. In this business, he became acquainted with many tobacco men, and formed a great circle of friends. In 1857, he was married to Miss Sallie MORELAND, the only daughter of Joseph MORELAND, of Breckinridge County. His wife lived only a year after their marriage. In the year 1870, he married to Miss Anna Belle BAIN, the daughter of the Reverend James BAIN, D.D., of Scarboro, County of York, Ontario, Canada. To them were born four children, three of whom, with the mother, survive him. He also has two sisters living in Canada, and one brother, Andrew CRAWFORD, who lives in Stephensport, Ky. One noteable fact about the CRAWFORD family is that the CRAWFORD brothers have died in rotation, and all have died at about the same age. WRITTEN BY: (Reverend) J. C.
