JOHN CRAWFORD

  John Crawford, for the past seven years hostler at the White Hall 
hotel stables, died at his home, 1612 Twelfth avenue, at 10.05 o'clock 
yesterday morning of pneumonia.  He was taken ill on Sunday, growing 
steadily worse until his death.  Mr. Crawford was born at Richlands, 
Cambria county, July 20, 1853, and soon after moved with his parents, 
John and Mary Crawford, now deceased, to Highland Fling, where he 
farmed until seven years ago.  His wife, who was formerly Miss Margaret 
Kopp, survives, with three children: Mrs. C. E. Mayes and Joseph 
Crawford, both of Juniata, and Miss Mary Crawford, at home.  Two 
sisters, Mrs. Joseph Seguin, of Highland Fling, and Mrs. William 
Hildebrand, of Richlands, also survive, together with five 
grandchildren.  The funeral will be held with services at the late home 
at 11 o'clock Friday morning, after which the body will be taken to 
Richlands for interment, on Friday afternoon.
