        EDWARD CRUMBO is a native of Prussia, Germany, and was born in
1841. He is a son of Henry and Willemina (Hebner) Crumbo, who came to the
United States and settled in New Albany, Ind., in 1846. The former was a
stone-cutter, and opened a quarry on the Knobs in 1854, before the Bedford
and Salem quarries were opened.
        He is still living in Tippecanoe county. In 1870 Mr. Crumbo was
succeeded in business by his son, and retired from active work. He served
two years in the Common Council and was a hard working, honest active
member. He fought the Gas Company on a new charter at their price. He was
married February 5, 1861, to Phoebe Elizabeth Gardner, of Pulaski county,
Ind. Nine children is the result of this marriage, four boys and five
girls. He is a member of I.O.O.F., K. of P., A.O.U.W., Red Men, and German
Benevolent Society. He has gone through the chairs of the Society of the
Red Men, and has been trustee for eight years; has also passed through the
chairs of the A.O.U.W.
        In national election he votes the Democratic ticket, but for local
election he votes for the best man. He built the court house at Salem, and
a good many other public buildings, too numerous to mention.
