DEATHS JULY 14, 1887
Obituary: EPHRAIM CRABTREE. It is never too late to make suitable mention
of a man who was worthy in the regard of his fellow men, and though the
subject of this notice died as long ago as July 28, 1885, it is timely to
do so now. Ephraim Crabtree was born at Hancock Point in 1815. He was
born, reared and lived nearly all his life on the farm formerly owned by
his father, Deacon George Crabtree, the first Deputy Collector of Customs
in the District of Frenchman's Bay. His farm, which was a large and
valuable one, was situated on the extremity of Hancock Point. During his
life he held many municipal offices and for several years was one of the
County Commissioners. In politics he was a Whig, so long as the Whig Party
had a mission. When human progress and eternal right called the Republican
Party into being, he was among the first to join it and continued a member
for as long as he lived. In religion we think he lived and died a Baptist,
believing in the fundamental principle!
s of that creed. Mr. Crabtree was one of the pioneers in opening up
Hancock Neck to summer residents and visitors. During his long illness Mr.
Crabtree was patient and cheerful, and at the age of 70 years and 5 months
death came to his relief. He was the youngest son of Deacon George and
Rebecca Crabtree and was one of a family of eleven children. He married
Miss Maria L. Bragdon of Sullivan who survives him.
