      PERCY L. CRAIG,
  
  Percy L. Craig[p. 614] first vice-president of the Lawrence Savings and
  Trust Company, at New Castle, is prominent in many circles in this city,
  where he has been a valued resident for the past seventeen years. He was
  born and educated at Allegheny, Pa.
  
  Prior to coming to New Castle Mr. Craig was interested in the railroad
  business for some years, but since then has been identified with gas and
  oil production, both in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia oil fields,
  as a producer. Since coming to New Castle, Mr. Craig has thoroughly
  identified himself with her interests. He was one of the main promoters
  of the Lawrence Savings and Trust Company, and has been its first
  vice-president ever since its organization, and through his
  encouragement and financial assistance many other enterprises have
  prospered and in many of these he is a director. He is a director of the
  Young Men's Christian Association and formerly was its president, having
  always been interested in its work. For three years he served as
  president of the Lawrence County Sabbath-school Association and still
  continues a member of its executive committee. He has given fostering
  care to many of the city's worthy charities and is president of the
  board of trustees of the Highland United Presbyterian Church, and a
  trustee of the Elmira Home.
  
  In 1891 Mr. Craig was married to Miss Eleanor T. McKee, a former
  resident of Allegheny, and they have two children, Earl M. and Margaret
  L. The handsome family residence is situated at No. 112, East Lincoln
  Avenue. Politics have never appealed to Mr. Craig, although he never
  ignores the duty of good citizenship,
