Mr. Crabbs had been in broken health for years, and to his closest friends it has been clear that he was gradually approaching the end of life, and while, with a sturdy bravery he fought the great destroyer step by step, the result that was so sure, finally came to his suddenly. He was on the floor of our exchange a week before his death.
Our friend has had a long and active business career. He came to Toledo in 1862, and commenced the wholesale grocery business, in a few years embarked in the grain commission. He was connected for a long period with the late W. H. Beilman, esq., in which connection was only dissolved by the illness that followed him and terminated his life.
