ALBIN CRABB, member of the school board and one of the trustees of Deerfield township, has long been prominent in the affairs of that part of Ross county. He is a son of James H. Crabb, a native of Ross county, who lost his father in infancy and when sixteen years old became an apprentice to the tailoring trade. In due time he opened a shop at Frankfort and shortly afterward was married to Ruth Brown, of Ross county, and continued business at the same place until 1862.. In that year he abandoned the occupation of a tailor, purchased a small farm in Deerfield township and removed there for permanent residence. He engaged in stock-raising and miscellaneous agriculture and so continued until 1891 when, feeling the approach of age and need of rest, he disposed of his place to his son Albin and returned to Frankfort. There he lived in retirement until his death, which occurred in 1897 when he was eighty years old. Three of his nine children, George D., Ada M. and Charles L., are dead.

Morrow, of Illinois; Albin, subject of this sketch; and Laura A., wife of D. E. Clark of Illinois.
