"A. M. Crandall came to Ackley in 1877, and has since kept a meat market, and, although there were already two markets in the place, Mr. Crandall, by doing a straightforward business, soon received his share of the patronage. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., in 1850, and as his father was a butcher by trade, he was soon educated to the business. In 1869 he came to Iowa, and run a market at Osceola, until 1876, then at Webster City until he came to Ackley. Mr. Crandall was married in 1874, to Miss Mary Cash. They have three children: Lydia, Frank and Irvin."
In 1887, Albert traveled to the Red Cloud, Nebraska area to seek out opening a butcher shop there. While on this trip he took ill and died in Nebraska.
