General Notes: Husband - Dr. James Slater Crawford

---

He grew to manhood on the home farm, attended the district schools situated near his father's farm, and afterward taught school for several years. Feeling that he could with profit use additional general and classical education, he studied for a time in the University of Michigan, and later entered the medical department of the Western Reserve College, Cleveland, Ohio, whence he was graduated in 1862. He first practised in Haneytown, West Virginia, where he remained for a few years, and then moved to Taylorstown, Pennsylvania, where he established permanently and was engaged in professional work the remainder of his life.
In everything pertaining to the work of the United Presbyterian church in Taylorstown he was a prime factor, his activities including a prominent and leading part in its founding, membership in its session, the superintendency of its Sunday school, and other interests. No important committee was complete without him as a member, no decisive steps were taken by any of the sub-organizations of the church without first seeking his advice and opinion, which, tempered by wise and mature judgment, he willingly gave. His wife was likewise a member of the United Presbyterian church.

General Notes: Wife - Nannie Morrow Crawford

---

The following is a tribute to Mrs. Nannie Morrow Crawford from her sons:
Bereft of her beloved husband, whose staunch and tender support she had clung to through many blissful years in a devotion seldom equaled, she turned her sorrowing heart to her four sons. At this time the oldest was twenty-one years of age and the youngest was eight. In the years which followed there was never a sacrifice too great, a service too irksome or a duty shirked. Today, looking backward through the tangled web of childhood dreams and boyhood ambitions, she, mother, stands enthroned in the hearts of her children as an indelible image of love, all absorbing devotion and Christian character.
