 James K. Crawford, farmer and stock raiser, section 34, was born December 11, 
1844, in Medina County, Ohio, being the son of William and Rebecca (Smith) 
Crawford, natives of Pennsylvania. The former moved to Ohio with his parents, 
who were among the pioneer settlers of Medina County. J. K. grew to manhood in 
his native county on the farm and received a good common school education. 
Coming west to Missouri in 1867, he located first in Bates County, where he 
lived for three years. He was married in Montrose September 15, 1870, to Miss 
Lucy May, of Kentucky birth, but who was reared and educated in Bureau County, 
Illinois, and is a daughter of Thaddeus May. After his marriage he bought land and 
improved the farm where he now resides. He first purchased 160 acres and 
afterward bought sixty acres adjoining this, now constituting a fine body of land, 
all enclosed with a good hedge. There are thirty acres devoted to tame grass. Mr. 
and Mrs. Crawford have three children: William B., born June 24, 1871; Mary Belle, 
born September 5, 1874, and Jessie, born May 15, 1877. Mr. C. makes a specialty 
of raising, feeding and trading in stock.
