Abraham Crumrine was born April 6, 1826, upon the old farm in West Bethlehem township, this county, a part of which he still owns. His education was gleaned from the meager teachings of the country schools. His boyhood, when he was not at school, was passed upon the farm, where he learned valuable lessons of thrift, to which much of his success in life is doubtless due. In 1837 he married Mahalia, daughter of George Zollar, for whom the hamlet of Zollarsville is named, he being one of the earliest settlers of that part of the county. After his marriage he built the elegant dwelling in which he now resides, and has made many other improvements. His children are Catherine, wife of Samuel Fulton, of West Bethlehem township; Sanford, a young man of superior intelligence, and a competent instructor in one of the schools of West Bethlehem township; and Ferman, his father's chief assistant on the farm. Mr. Crumrine is a leading Democrat, and one of the trusted counselors of his party; also a member of the Lutheran Church, with which he is prominently identified.
