Crumby, George Fenner, Newport, was born in Newport, September 14, 18--, a son

parents.  Here he lived until the age of thirty.  He was a merchant at Norway 
and Newport until 1859, when he moved to St. Paul, Minn., and was engaged in 
the livery business for eight years.  He then returned to Newport and followed

entered Fairfield Seminary, from which he graduated in 1874.  He was 
valedictorian of his class.  He then taught school at Dansville, N.Y., for one
