Andrew Crawford Chilton Times January 28, 1899
On Saturday morning of last week, January 21st, a telegram to Justin Harper conveyed the unexpected news of the death of his old friend and our honored townsman, Andrew Crawford. It seemed but yesterday that Mr. Crawford, well and strong, bade good bye to his friends in Chilton and moved with his family to their present home in Hickory, Oconto County; and as scarcely anyone here had heard of his recent illness, his death was a great shock to our citizens. Some three weeks ago the deceased was attacked with nervous prostration and though he had not entirely recovered he went to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Cone at Menominee, Mich., where he could receive the best of medical aid. The change was of no avail, however, and on Saturday morning to the great sorrow of his relatives he died at that place.
Andrew Crawford was one of our best known and most highly respected citizens. He was the son of John and Gittas Ann Crawford and first saw the light of day in the town of Brownsville, Jefferson County, New York, October 1st, 1839. In 1853 he came to Chilton with his parents who located on a farm in what is now the northern part of our city.
At the beginning of the war of the rebellion Mr. Crawford enlisted in Co. G of the 14th Wis. Infantry and served until his health failed and he was honorably discharged. Capt. O R. Potter, commander of Co. G. says of him that "no braver or more loyal soldier ever wore the ‘blue.' He could always be depended upon to perform his duties conscientiously and well and never flinched when in line of battle."
After the war was over and as soon as his health would permit Mr. Crawford took to farming and for a number of years conducted a nursery, doing quiet an extensive business in fruit raising. Later on, he disposed of his farm and moved into the city where he and his family spent many happy years. He was a man of strong moral character and unimpeachable integrity broad in his views and generous and unselfish in his dealings with everyone. His benevolence and charity were proverbial and the good he has done for mankind during his stay on earth has certainly earned him a rich reward in Heaven.
Andrew Crawford had no enemy and his friends whose number is countless, sadly deplore his death. His remains were brought to this city on the afternoon train on Tuesday and were taken to the home of Justin Harper. On Wednesday morning the funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Evert at the Congregational church, and the number of friends who had come to pay their last tribute to an exemplary citizen and patriot, was so large that the edifice could not accommodate one half of them.
The Grand Army Post, of which the deceased was a member in good standing, had charge of the funeral and he was laid to rest in the hillside cemetery in accordance with the custom of that organization, a military salute being fired by comrades.
He leaves a widow and five daughters, Mesdames Thomas Cone, of Menominee, Mich.; A H Hooper of Iron Mountain, Mich.; Will E. Barber, of Ontonagon, Mich.; Miss Lottie and Hazel. All were in attendance at the funeral, also the husbands of the married daughters. Three brothers, Edward of Chicago; Charles of Hilbert; Lucius of Waupaca; and two sisters, Mrs. D. A Coy of Chilton town; Mrs. Edgar Sherman of Oak Center; and his mother, who is 80 years of age, where also in attendance.
