ALBERT CRANE The country home of this gentleman which is pleasantly located on section 23 in Moscow Township is especially noticeable for its highly cultivated fields its neat and substantial buildings the fine assortment of live stock cattle sheep and horses the thrifty apple orchard and the finer fruit trees adjacent to the dwelling It would be difficult to conceive a more desirable homestead or one which bears upon the face of it clearer evidence of the thrift and prosperity of its proprietor Mr Crane has been endowed by nature with flue business capacities and excellent judgment as an agriculturist and in his career as a general farmer and stock raiser has been more than ordinarily successful The representative of an old and excellent family our subject was born Aug 16 1815 in Taunton Mass and was the second of ten children the offspring of Turner and Phebe Arnold Crane who were also natives of the Bay State the father born in Taunton and the mother in Norton Both were of English ancestry and after their marriage settled in New Hampshire whence a few years later they removed to Wayne County NY and from there came to the Territory of Michigan as early as 1833 The father had learned the trade of a tanner during his early life but upon coming West necessarily changed his occupation and settling upon a tract of land in Madison Township Lenawee County began the cultivation of the soil and the up of a homestead among the pioneers of Southern Michigan He however did not live to fully out his plans his death taking place ten years later in June 1843 when he was fifty four years of age The mother survived her husband a quarter of a century her death taking place in 1868 when she was seventy two years old Of the ten children born to Turner and Phebe Crane seven are now living and residents of Michigan The first recollections of our subject were of his early home among the Massachusetts hills from which he was taken when a little lad He acquired a common school education and was seventeen years of age when the family started for the farther West The journey from Palmyra NY to Adrian occupied ten days Albert left the home roof soon afterward and commenced working in a distillery in the embryo town of Adrian being thus engaged until reaching his majority In 1845 occurred one of the most important events of his life namely his marrbge with Miss Dency daughter of Daniel and Rebecca Richmond Foster who were natives of Ontario County NY and Dighton Mass respectively This family also like that of the Cranes was of English descent Daniel Foster settled in Ontario County NY after his marriage whence they removed first to Pennsylvania and from there to Medina County Ohio becoming residents of the latter State in 1825 They came to Lenawee County Mich twelve years later and the father settled first in Dover Township of which the family continued residents until 1861 then came to this county settling in Hillsdale Township where the father passed away in 1862 when seventy six years old The mother had died early in life in Pennsylvania when Mrs Crane was but eleven years old The family circle included fourteen children ten sons and four daughters thirteen of whom grew to mature years Mrs Crane was the third child of her parents and was born June 25 1817 in Ontario County NY She was a little girl of seven years when her parents removed to Pennsylvania and thirteen when they became residents of the Buckeye State She was a maiden of seventeen when they came to this State and completed her education in the High School at Northville She had made good use of her opportunities and being competent as an instructor engaged in teaching for some time before her marriage She takes a pardonable pride in the fact that her maternal grandfather after being graduated from Yale College entered the Revolutionary army and was Colonel of a regiment under Gen Washington His brave and efficient service assured him a position in the front rank and he enjoyed the honor and satisfaction of being chiefly instrumental in the capture of Gen Burgoyne whose sword was handed over to Col Richmond as his legitimate trophy Tliis relic is now preserved by the Richmond family as an object of interest with which they would not willingly part The two children who came to bless the union of Mr and Mrs Crane are recorded as follows Marie A is the wife of John B Nutten a prosperous farmer of Moscow Township they have seven children namely Albert George F Wesley L May and Maude twins Gertrude and John B Jr Asa Crane married Miss Alice Clegg and they have two children a son and a daughter Arthur and Edith They reside in North Adams and young Mr Crane is retired from business The family is one of the most prominent and highly respected in this portion of Hillsdale County where Mr Crane by the establishment of one of its most creditable homesteads constitutes no unimportant factor in the development of its resources.
