Obituary: "Sudden Death: Capt George T Crabtree. who was visiting relatives in this city, was found dead in his bed Monday morning at the house of his sister, Mrs Edwin Bird, on Bay View Street. Capt Crabtree had been an invalid for some time but retired at 10 o'clock Sunday evening as well as usually. Monday morning Mrs Bird went to his room and found him dead. No disturbance was made during the night and it was supposed he passed quietly away in his sleeper. Dr Fletcher and Coroner Poor were notified. The coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary.
Capt Crabtree was born at North Haven, in Knox Co, and was 56 years old. He married Clementine, the daughter of William McLoon of Rockland, and was engaged in trade in that city. He was one of the passengers who left Belfast in 1849 for California in the bark "Suliote" one of the first vessels to leave New England for the Golden Gate.
At the breaking out of the rebellion, he entered the army as 1st Sgt of Co C, 4th Me Regiment. He was promoted to 2nd Lt 8 Sept 1861 and to 1st Lt in Apr 1862. At the battle of Chantilly Sept 1, 1862, Lt Crabtree was severely wounded in the left shoulder, which ever after disabled him. For gallant conduct at this battle he was made a Capt Jan 9, 1863. Capt Crabtree rejoined his regiment in Apr 1863, but was soon after discharged and entered the invalid corps. Col Walker in his report of Capt Crabtree said, 'He particularly distinguished himself at Fair Oaks. He was the first to go to the front, with ten men, on the cessation of hostilities, relieving many of our wounded who had laid inside the enemy's line 36 hours, also to ascertain the withdrawal of the enemy, from our immediate front. His character is above, reproach. I have always found him to be a brave, efficient & trustworthy officer.
In Nov 1863, Capt Crabtree was ordered to Belfast on recruiting duty and was here during the drafting of the soldiers. For 2 years he had charge of the commissary department of the Lowell General Hospital at Portsmouth Grove, Rhode Island." Republican Journal, 31 Aug 1882.
