Served as a surgeon during the Civil war. \par \par James Rose Crank was a hard working individual, left somewhat homeless after the death of his father David Crockett Crank and the remarriage of his mother Deborah to Jesse Bruce in 1842. Apparently he and the new head of household differed in their ways of thinking, and around the age of 13, Jame Rose Crank went to live with some of his mother's family, and then set out to make his mark. He received his education at the Tazewell Academy in Claiborne County, Tennessee. He became a doctor who serviced the needs of the wounded of both sides during the Civil War, was a Methodist Minister and loving husband and father. He and Dorthula were the parents of twelve children, seven of whom reached adulthood. He taught as he lived, and all who knew him loved him. His name can be found on many documents as the attending physician and minister of marriage. James Rose Crank could have chosen to give in to the hardships bestowed upon him, but he chose to struggle and survive. His life was well lived.}
