URIAH CRANDALL
	Uriah Crandall, who lives two and one-half miles south from Locke,is 
one of the pioneers of the Pend d'Oreille valley. It was in 1886 that Mr.
Crandall settled where he now lives, the land then being unsurveyed. Upon 
being surveyed it was found to be railroad land and he purchased the same,
having added since eighty acres by homestead right. Mr.Crandall raises 
considerable stock and has a fine meadow of eighty acres. His farm is well 
fenced and provided with other necessary improvements and he is one of the 
thirty and successful agriculturists of this section.
   Uriah Crandall was born on April 30, 1838, in Otsego county, New York,the
son of Robert and Margret (Gage) Crandall, natives of Pennsylvania. They
settled in Guilford, New York, where later the father died. After that, the
mother married Jacob Salzman, and during the Civil was she died also. Mr.
Crandall has two sisters. Eveline McNitt and Ellen Packard. The Crandall
family came from Scotch-Irish ancestry who were prominent people in England.
Uriah received his early education in the common schools of Lion Creek, New
York and after his father's death, resided with his brother-in-law for some
years. He learned thoroughly the art of cheese making, which he followed 
until the Civil war, when he enlisted in Company H, Second United States 
Light Artillery. He suffered severely from spotted fever and in August 1865, 
he was mustered out at Fort McHenry. Owing to the ravages of this fearful 
disease in his system he was unable to work for three years thereafter. He 
spent sometime in Missouri and Kansas, then returned to New York, whence he
came to California. Later we find him in Portland, where he lived for eight 
years. Next he spent a year in the Coeur d'Alene country and in 1886, as
