BIOGRAPHY, "History of Franklin County, Indiana", by August J. Reifel, publ 1915, an excerpt from the biography of son, Joseph N. Croddy, page 1181:
George W. Croddy was educated in the public schools of his home neighborhood in Franklin county. When the Civil War broke out he offered his services in defense of his country, first becoming a member of the Sixteenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, but did not get to go with this regiment, and later volunteered in the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and again failed to go, more men enlisting at the time than were needed. Just at the close of the war he was drafted, but was never notified to muster in. Mr. Croddy is an ardent Democrat, and during the Civil War was threatened with hanging for being a Democrat. He first voted for Stephen A. Douglas and has not missed an election since the Douglas campaign, and, furthermore, has never scratched a ticket. He has been a farmer, carpenter and mason, and has lived in Franklin county ever since he first came here, with the exception of two years spent near Richland, Rush county, Indiana. He and his son own a farm of fifty-two acres.
George W. Croddy was married in 1866 to Charlotte Goble, who died March 27, 1878. She was born in Posey township in this county, the daughter of Israel and Elizabeth (Jinks) Goble, the former born in Preble county, Ohio, November 3, 1817, died August 28, 1896, his wife dying October 12, 1903.
