THE CRUM FAMILY .- JAMES CRUM, farmer, Arenzville Precinct. The father of our subject was Matthias Crum, a native of Virginia, and was born July 10, 1774. He lived in the old dominion State until mature in years, and then emigrated to Kentucky. While in this State, he taught school, and there married Miss Margaret Spangler, a na- tive of Louisville; born Nov. 18, 1779. Her father, Daniel, was an early comer to that portion of the State, and was killed by the Indians, while attending to stock on his farm. Matthias Crum came from Kentucky to Mor- gan County, in 1832, and brought with him his wife and family of six children. He lo- cated in Morgan County, and there resided until his death, March 8, 1841, being then sixty-seven years of age. His wife survived him, and died April 24, 1852. His father al- so, Matthias Crum, was a native born Ger- man, a stone mason by trade. He erossed the ocean three times in his life; was a thorough workman, as many of the old stone chimneys erected by him in the old Domin- ion State, for the F. F. V's, are still standing, as a monument to his skill. James Crum, our subject, and his oldest brother, Christian, made their first visits to Cass County in the year 1830; another brother, David, also came with them, but he pushed on to Missouri, and there died. James and Christian located 320 acres of land in Section thirty-five, township seventeen, range eleven. This they owned and improved in common. Upon this tract they built a small log cabin, and occupied it until they were both married, and their in- terests became divided. James married Jan. 31, 1833, to Miss Christiana Ream, daughter of John Ream, a native of Pennsylvania, and

came to Ohio, thenee to Illinois in 1830. He lived with his brother until he had completed his first log cabin in 1834, which he first oe- eupied the winter of 1834-35. Mr. Crum was born Sept. 22, 1806. He commenced farming in an humble way on eighty acres of land. To this he steadily added, until he had at one time several hundred acres. Of this he has sold but little, but has settled it upon his sons and daughters, and now owns about 800 acres, which comprises the home- stead. Mrs. Crum died May 1, 1878. Their children, born in the following order, are: David M. (deceased), T. Jefferson, James F., Sarah M., now Mrs. John F. Wilson, of Men- ard County, Mary E., or Mrs. William H. Thompson, of Jacksonville, Amanda C., now Mrs. W. H. Thompson, of Arenzville Pre- cinct, John M., Marcellus, George W., Mar- cus L., Charles P., and Oscar (deceased). Mr. Crum cast his first vote for General Jackson, at Charlestown, Ind. He has always evinced a lively interest in the cause of education, and is awake to the public interests of his county and State.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, his oldest living son, was born July 9, 1835. He received such schooling as the early advantages of those times afforded, and grew up to assist his fa- ther at a most propitious time, when there was much to be done. He was reared to be a successful farmer. In 1853 he started in life for himself, with a worthy gift from his father of 250 acres of Cass County land. March 11, 1855, he married Miss Sarah A., daughter of William and Lueinda (Turner) Henderson. Mr. Henderson is a native of Indiana, and Mrs. Henderson of Kentucky. They came to Morgan County in 1830. Mrs. Crum, born May 7, 1840, and she has eight children living, as follows: Charles E., Marah T., Marion O., Willey S., Ollie E., May L., Henry O., Eben R. Two died in infancy without names.

He then entered Adrian Col- lego, at Adrian, Mich., and in 1872 receiv- ed the degree of A. M. He then returned to the Wesleyan College, and graduated as an A. B. In the meantime he spent two years in the study of medicine, at the St. Louis Medical College, and graduated in 1874, receiving his degree as M. D. The course of study he pursued may seem rather irregular, but it was taken as his choice, to avoid the discipline under one set of minds. Dr. Crum practiced medicine about four years, but is gradually abandoning practiee, and has embraced farming, on account of failing health. He entered farming in 1869, when he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land adjoining the homestead. Aug. 21, 1878, he married Mary E. Malone, daughter of Da- vid Malone, of Evansville, Ind. Mrs. Crum is a graduate of the Jacksonville Athæneum, and was born April 10, 1856. They have two children: Cora A. and Olga I.
