Leonard Crumrmine is one of the older native sons of Allen County. He spent many years as a successful and practical farmer, and since coming to Lima has carried on some extensive business, but is now practically retired.
He was born in Perry Township March 12, 1847, son of Martin and Catherine (Procius) Crumrine. His parents were natives of Pennsylvania, where his father's people represented an old and prominent family. They were early settlers of Allen County, making the journey from Perry County, Ohio, with wagons and teams in March, 1835. After stopping over night at Ridenour they had to cut their way through the forest for three miles to reach their destination in Perry Township. Here Martin Crumrine bought some state land, all covered with heavy timber growth, erected a log cabin, and saw the place well improved and a highly productive farm before his death in 1859. The widowed mother died in 1886. Their children were: David, who married Miss Sellers and died when a young man; Leah became the wife of Joseph Sellers; Catherine married Christ Martin; Margaret was the wife of Levi Rosculp, all these daughters being now deceased; Mary is Mrs. Isaac McLean of Perry Township; John married Emma Hanthorn: and Leonard is the youngest of the family.
Leonard Crumrine grew up on the home farm, was educated in the district schools, and on February 4, 1869, married Thamer L. Burns. She was born in Perry Township, a daughter of Hiram and Emma (Ulry) Burns, the former a native of Cincinnati and the latter of Knox County, Ohio.
After his marriage Mr. Crumrine acquired sixty acres of the old homestead, and later bought the interests of the other heirs until he had 166 acres. He used this as the scene of his profitable farming efforts until 1891, when he sold out and moved to Lima. Buying two lots on South Main Street, he built a large brick block 50x70 feet, with three business store rooms below and the second floor being used for flats and apartments. For a time he was engaged in the grocery business there, also had some interests in the oil producing field, but is now practically retired except for the supervision of his private affairs. He owns a fine home at 723 South Elizabeth Street.
Mr. Crumrine is a democrat and is a member of the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. He and his wife had the following children: Alva, who died at the age of forty years, married Emma Martin and was the father of seven children; Harry died at the age of nineteen months; Emma is Mrs. H. E. Morrison of Lima; Lawrence L., a resident of Lima, married Ella Mehan, and has one daughter and one son; Carrie is the wife of Edward Crossley of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Cliff, of Toledo, married Ella Hughes and has two daughters; Margaret is Mrs. James Heffner of Lima and has a son, George; William, the youngest of the family, lives at Providence, Rhode Island.
