He was clerk in store st Staffordville before any wool en mills had been built in that village, the store being that of Alvan Hyde X Go, and located in the old building burned few years ago, and on the site of which stand tbe present store of A. s. Eaton, who was also the occupant of the burned build ing. When the furnace closed out ill 1841 MT. c. went to Windsor Locks. When the Granite mill company built store some where about 1850, after running it them. selves very brief period they sold to MT. C.the business, he continuing to occupy the company's storehouse until 1t was washed away with all it's contents in the Stafford vile reservoir disaster of 1877. When the bank building, also destroyed by the same flood, was rebuilt he took store therein, and resumed his old line of business. When MT. Crane began business here there was but one other store in the village, that of David Parkess, kept in the building now standing second east from A. N. Nichols store. Mir. Crane brings to his new office the same afablo ways, untirlng energy, and good business habits that have made his business and social life so eminently suc- cessful.
