My (J. C. Crawford) birth place
Here my father built his second home about 1878, surrounded by a numbner of shade trees, one large oak remains standing to
this day (Dec. 1952).
Here at this place an elder brother Freddy M. and myself were born. He built his first house in a beautiful little valley at
the foot of the hill below this house. A splended spring of fresh water came out of the hill side in a few feet of this original
house. Here in this house at the foot of the hill were born to my father and mother their first six children.
At the time of the m,arriage of m,y father and mother whose maden name was Laura B. Stephens, his father Granville Crawford
gave to them a tract of land consisting of about 50 acres, which was located on the South part of his original farm consiting of
four hundred acres.
It was upon this portion or tract of land which he received from his father that he built the home as just mention.
A few years later 1891, my father with his family again moved this time at the extreme southern boundry of his farm which he
had received from his father, into a house on top of a beautiful hill into a third house built about 1889.
On November 10, 1893, he purchased a home at Hines Mill, later named Dundee. Here he remained until March 1905, at which time he
moved to Owensboro where he remained until the time of his death which occurred in 1927. He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery. Mother
remained with us for 12 years taking her departure in 1939. she was laid to rest by the side of her companion with whom she had
lived since their marriage in 1868.
