He was a native of North Carolina and had lived in Cherokee County the past 27 years. He was a member of the Mount Paran Baptist church.
Funeral services will be conducted at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the Draytonville Baptist Church by the Rev. Carl Martin. Interment will be in the Draytonville cemetery with the Craft Funeral Home morticians in charge.

Mr. Crawford turned his coffin over to the Craft Funeral Home about two years ago to keep for him until needed. The mortuary sent the box to a manufacturing plant to have it lined and finished.
