He died at the age of 73 years. The father of our subject was born in Ohio and the mother in Pennsylvania. They had three children, namely: Oella, wife of W.H.

Next he went to Alliance, where he was in partnership with William McLeran for two years, after which the stock was moved to Salem and in 1897 the firm name became Crumrine & Kale. The business in 1900 was incorporated and the name of The Salem Hardware Company adopted. Mr. Crumrine became manager and H.R. Kale, secretary.
