407   HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY

Rollin H. Crawford, a representative farmer of Franklin township, was born 
on the homestead of his father, Rollin 0. Crawford, in Rockford township, 
May 27, 1873, and was there reared. He received a good education in the 
district schools, and farmed at home until twenty-five years of age. 
Then he lived on rented property for a while. In 1904 he purchased 120 acres 
in Franklin township, where he now resides. Forty acres of the place have 
been sold and he still retains eighty acres, on which he conducts general 
farming and raises good stock. He is well known throughout the county, 
having gone about threshing for many seasons. He has served on the school 
board nine years. His fraternal affiliation is with the Modern Brotherhood 
of America. Mr. Crawford was married March 17, 1897, to Albertina Schir, a 
native of Germany, whose parents settled in Wright county. In the Crawford 
home there are seven children: Rheuben, Ethel, Lydia, Gladys, Marna, Eunice 
and Viola.
