house in his native town, which he still con- tinues. He is prominent in all enterprises for the benefit of Westfield and Chautauqua county, being one of the prime movers in establishing the local telephone company of Westfield. He is manager as well as a director of this com- pany, besides holding directorships in various other telephone companies in adjacent towns. He held the office of president of the village of Westfield for three terms, and, for fifteen years, was coroner of Chautauqua county. He is also prominent in educational work, being a member of the board of managers of the Fre- donia State Normal School. In politics he is a Republican. By the will of the late Hon. S. Frederick Nixon, of Westfield, he was made one of the executors of his estate, which occu- pies much of his time. He is a member of the Masonic order, belonging to Summit Lodge, of Westfield.
He married, September 19, 1888, in West- field, New York, Eugena S., born in West- field, New York, daughter of James and Mary .(Bell) Johnston. Children : Herbert J., born October 18, 1890; William Bell, September 20, 1892.
(VII) Frank William, son of William Ben- jamin and Sylvia S. (Bandall) Crandall, was born April 30, 1861, in Westfield, New York. He received his education in Westfield, graduating from Westfield Academy in 1880. He chose banking for his life work, and his success has certainly justified the choice. On July 1, 1880, he entered the First National Bank of West- field, as office boy. By his close application to his work and his willingness, together with his courteous manner toward those with whom he had dealings, he gained the confidence of his employers, and his advance through the lower grades of banking was rapid. Seven years after entering the bank he was made assistant cashier. In 1890 he was elected a director of the bank, and, in 1892, was appoint- ed cashier. He held this position until he was advanced to the position he now holds, that of vice-president. Mr. Crandall did not con- fine himself to the Westfield bank. He was one of the organizers of the banking firm of E. A. Skinner & Company, of Ripley, which was opened January 20, 1891. This institution developed into the First National Bank, of Ripley, New York, and received its charter from the government September 1, 1902. Mr. Crandall is president of this institution. He has given much of his time in the service of
his village, having acted as clerk from 1884 to 1887. In 1893 he was elected president of the village, and reelected in 1894-95. From 1896 to 1908 he was a member of the water board commissions, serving as president and superin- tendent. He was one of the incorporators of the Patterson Library, of Westfield, of which he has been treasurer since 1896. This is an- other position which he occupies solely for the public benefit. He has been connected with the supreme treasurer's office of the Royal Arcanum for over thirty years, and there, as elsewhere, has proven of great value.
He was reared in the Methodist Episcopal faith, but, in 1887, he became connected with St. Peter's Episcopal Church, and, for many years, has acted as its treasurer, and he is now senior warden and is one of the church sup- porters. He has been a member of the board of visitation of the Gowanda State Hospital since 1902, a position which he has held by the appointment of the governor of the state of New York. In no position which he has at- tempted to fill has Mr. Crandall failed in any respect. His rapid rise in the First National Bank, of Westfield, prophesied a career of great usefulness, and this prophecy has assur- edly been fulfilled. He has been a lifelong resident of Westfield, and is numbered among its foremost citizens, respected and admired by all. His life has been a shining example to all young men, showing that nothing is needed to succeed but character, determination and per- severance.
He married, June 29, 1887, in Westfield, New York, Catherine Louise Patterson, born in Corning, New York, July 23, 1862, daughter of George Washington Patterson. Children : I. Francis William, born January 13, 1889; graduate of Yale College, B. A., 1911. 2. George Patterson, born June 21, 1891 ; entered Yale College, 1911.

In 1817 he began to teach school at Pelham, New Hampshire, but, in 1818, he gave up teaching and moved to Leicester, near Mos- cow, Livingston county, New York, where he engaged in the manufacture of fanning mills, in which business he was interested for twenty- six years, during which time he was mostly at his shops on his farm. He remained there until 1841, when he moved to Westfield, New York, to take the agency of the Chautauqua Land Office, as successor to Governor Seward, who succeeded the agent of the Holland Land Company, at the Chautauqua office. When much of the land had been sold Mr. Patterson purchased the remainder and the securities of the company and continued the sales at the Westfield office until his death, when the title to the unsold lands passed to his only son. Mr. Patterson began his long career as a public servant soon after moving to Leicester, New York, and, from 1824 until his death, he was only out of the public service for a short time. In his case the office always sought the man, never the man the office. When the office of justice of the peace became elective he was chosen for that office, which he held, by suc- cessive elections, until he moved to Westfield. He was school commissioner, commissioner of highways, justice of the peace, brigade pay- master and supervisor of Leicester; was a member of the state assembly for eight years, and speaker of the house in 1839 and 1840. After coming to Westfield he was appointed basin commissioner, at Albany, by Governor Seward; harbor commissioner, at New York, by Governor Clark, and quarantine commis- sioner of the port of New York, by Governor Morgan. He was a delegate to the national Republican convention that nominated John C. Fremont for president, and to the national Re- publican convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for a second presidential term. He was supervisor of Westfield for three years, president of Westfield Academy, and president of the board of education for many years. He represented Chautauqua county in the state constitutional convention in 1846; was elected lieutenant-governor of the state of New York in 1848, and, in 1876, was elected to the forty- fifth session of the national congress by the Republican party.

Among the legis- lative measures originated by him was the free banking law of New York, the original bill of which he drew and which was passed. The main provisions of the free banking laws of the United States, giving the people a secured currency under governmental supervision, were taken from the New York law. He was a ready speaker and was in great demand during political campaigns. He had a wonderful mem- ory for facts and dates and a fund of anecdotes to fit every occasion.
