CRUMRINE The attractive little city of Carrollton, judicial center and metropolis of Carroll County, naturaly has made distinct appeal to many of those native sons who have here gained substantial success in connection with farm industry and who have finally been justified in retiring from the labors and exactions of the farm. Thus the city has gained a goodly quota of sterling retired farmers, and among the number is he whose name introduces this paragraph. Mr. Crumrine was born in Perry Township this county, July 16, 1856, and is a son of John and Margaret Binger Crumrine both of whom were born in Pennsylvania. Peter A. Crumrine found his childhood and youth compassed by the influences of the home farm and profited duly by the advantages afforded in the public schools of his native township. He has been specially vigorous and progressive as a farmer his first farm of ninety four acres having been in London Township and later his operations having been continued on a farm of 108 acres east of Carrollton in Center Township.

He then purchased a tract of thirty five acres in Center Township and this property he improved by the erection of a modern house and other good farm buildings On this model little farm he continued to reside until 1920 when he sold the property and purchased his present attractive residence at 434 South Lisbon Street Carrollton where he is now living retired.
