In 1930 he and his wife and her three children from her first marriage lived on a farm they owned in Cass Township, Muskingum County, OH. Their home was valued at $3000 and they did not have a radio. He also worked as a foreman for the state highway department.
In 1940 the five of them lived on presumably the same farm, which was still valued at $3000 after the Great Depression. James also worked as a laborer for the state highway department, with an income in 1939 of $1500 for 52 weeks of work.

MAN, 61, DIES OF RARE FEVER
Funeral services for James M. Crawford, 61, of Dresden Route 1, will be held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the family home. Burial will be in Frazeysburg cemetery.
Mr. Crawford died Wednesday night in University hospital at Columbus of Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, a rare malady.
He was taken to the hospital Monday night, a few days after his daughter, Susan, 5, was taken to Children's hospital in Columbus for treatment of the same disease.
The girl is reported improving, but physicians say recovery is slow.
Dr. F. B. Burnside of Frazeysburg said he knew of only one other previous case of the disease in this section of the county.
Mr. Crawford was a life resident of Muskingum county and was a road foreman for the state highway department with which he had been employed for 28 years.
He was a son of the late Andrew and Mina Little Crawford and was born at the Crawford homestead in the widely known Crawford orchards along Route 16 between Frazeysburg and Dresden.
Surviving are his mother, his widow, the former Mary Holtz, a son, George Crawford of Santa Barbara, Calif., and three daughters, Mrs. Charles Nye of Sandusky, Mrs. Gerald Van Dyke of Dennison and five-year-old Susan; five brothers, David of Hammond Ind., Harold of 322 Oak street, Clyde of Dresden and Glenn and Hugh of the home, and seven grandchildren.
The body has been removed to the residence from the Baughman funeral home at Frazeysburg.
