  Crosby, George W., was born on March 25, 1870, at Milford, Hillsboro 
County, N.H. He attended an academy, took a thorough commercial course, 
and had about one year's work in college.
  He was converted at fifteen years of age, and immediately felt called 
to the ministry. He received exhorter's license in September, 1895, 
from the pastor of Seneca Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Buffalo, 
N.Y., and in September, 1896, the Buffalo District Conference granted 
him a local preacher's license. He served as supply two years in 
Genesee Conference, two years in New England Conference, and one year 
in Wyoming Conference before joining us on trial in 1900. In 1902 he 
was admitted into full membership.
  Before entering the work of the ministry he was one year in the dry 
goods business, two years secretary in railroad Young Men's Christian 
Association work, and for years an accountant and stenographer.
  His pastoral record is as follows: 1900, North Tioga; 1901-03,
