       ALEXANDER CRAWFORD, deceased, was born in Argyleshire, Scotland,
    October 3, 1822.  His parents came to the United States and settled in
    Michigan in 1832.  He grew up and received his education in this State.
    He came to Port Huron in 1844, to take charge of the schools.  He
    taught in the first two schools erected here;  first in the old build-
    ing that stood on the present site of the high school edifice, and
    after that in the old Brown school.  Mr. CRAWFORD was united in mar-
    riage, April 15, 1852, to Miss MARY PARMERLEE, of Granville, N.Y.  Her
    parents came West to Michigan, and settled in Macomb County in 1830.
    Mr. CRAWFORD was engaged in teaching for fourteen years, and many of
    the active business men of this city are indebted to him for the re-
    sults which his teaching and example as an instructor had in forming
    life habits and molding their character.  For over eight years he was
    an officer of the Government in the custom department, and he performed
    the delicate and arduous duties of his office with the same fidelity
    that characterized everything in which he was employed.  He held that
    position until his death, which occurred July 29, 1869.  He left four
    children, all daughters -- EVA N., now Mrs. H. C. KUILL, HATTIE M.,
    FRANKIE A., now Mrs. FRANK SHARP and ANNA E.
