The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-07

retired from the presidency Johnson in- stalled him in a permanent clerkship at the White House, and he continued in this capacity during the forepart of the Grant regime. In 1876 Grant appointed Crook acting secretary to the President, and in March, 1877. appointed him dis bursting officer of the White House, In which position he has continued ever since, having In the aggregate expended hundreds of thousands of dollars for the maintenance of the presidential establish ment.
 ~Colonel Crooks home in the city of Washington is filled with relics and me mentoes of Lincoln and other Presidents. Probably the most prized of all the keep sakes is a card in Lincoln's handwriting which the President addressed to the provost marshal general when Crook and his other bodyguard, Alexander Smith, were drafted fos service in the Army.
 The President wrote that he could not spare these men and asked the official aforementioned to please fix" the mat ter. This precious bit of paper reposed for years in the War Department files, but when Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martyr President was Secretary of War he gave 1t to his fathers old guard. An other of Colonel Crooks souvenirs is n mahogany cane made from the rail of the little spiral stairway whereby Lin coin reached his office and which has long since been torn down.
 Colonel Crook has some almost price less specimens of the china service which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-07

Mrs. Lincoln selected for the White House and which Colonel Crook declares to have been more beautiful than any table ware purchased before or since for use on the Presidential table, There is a dainty cup and saucer and a plate which Lincoln used = all ornamented by the broad maroon band and the eagle and coat of arms in colors. Old photographs of Lincoln, including the favorite one of the President, with Tad and other me- mentoes, also have place in the home presided over by Colonel Crook and his second wife, who was Mrs. Clara Robey Priddy, when Colonel Crook married her nine years ago.
 One possession of Colonel Crooks which, though not relic of the Lincoln period he yet prizes very highly, Is a violin which was once owned by Ole Bull. Colonel Crook is a :'fddler," he disdains to call himself violinist. It is his one diversion and he has indulged In it ever since he was a boy of 15. He plays entirely by ear, never having read a note of music. but he displays ex- ceptional talent. Many a night when business is not pressing at the White House the officials on duty at the Presl- dents offices will appeal to Colonel Crook by telephone at his home and he will, in response to their entreaties, be kept playing far into the night while each member of the White House staff, a tele- phone receiver at his ear, enjoys the long distance concert.
