JAMES CALVIN CRAWFORD, M.D., physician and surgeon at Tyrone, Pa., where he
has been in successful practice since 1905, was born in Sinking Valley, Blair
County, Pa., May 26, 1878, and is a son of Dr. Luther F. and Harriet (Bryan)
Crawford, and a grandson of Robert and Mary (Fleck) Crawford.
     James Calvin Crawford attended the public schools of Sinking Valley
until he was twelve years of age, when his parents moved to Tyrone but he
remained several years loner with his grandmother in Sinking Valley. With the
class of 1897 he graduated from the Tyrone High School and then entered the
Millersville Normal School but shortly afterward, when the call came for
troops for service in the Spanish-American War, he joined the Sheridan Troop,
in 1898, and served until the close of hostilities. Dr. Crawford's father has
been prominently identified with the N.G.P., for a number of years and his
own connection dates from 1897, and has continued until the present. During
active service his rank was first sergeant of the troop. In 1899, Dr.
Crawford entered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he was a
student until 1904, and was graduated in medicine at the University of the
South, at Swansea, Tenn., in 1905, and has been in active practice ever
since. He is a member of the Blair County Medical Society and of the
Pennsylvania State Medical Association. His fraternal connections are
numerous, including membership in Tyrone Lodge, No. 494, F& A. M. and the
Modern Woodmen of America and others.
     Dr. Crawford was married to Miss Laura K. Beyer, a daughter of the late
F. D. and Elizabeth (Blake) Beyer, the former of whom was interested for many
years in a planing mill and lumber business, which, since his death in 1907,
has been continued by his sons. The mother of Mrs. Crawford died in the fall
of 1902. Dr. and Mrs. Crawford have four children: James C., born August 28,
1905; Margaret, born May 30, 1907; Robert Luther, born July 19, 1908, and
Elizabeth Blake, born October 27, 1910.  Dr. Crawford maintains his office in
his handsome residence which is situated on the corner of Fifteenth Street and
Lincoln Avenue, Tyrone.  In politics he is a Republican but takes only the
interest of a good citizen in public affairs.  With his wife he belongs to
the First Lutheran Church at Tyrone.
