William K. Crawley

1863 - 1905

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  William K. Crawley, of North Norwich, was fatally injured about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon of last week, by a fall from the milk house of M.D. Firman, of that place, which he was engaged in painting.  He died from his injuries several hours later without regaining consciousness. Deceased was the second son of John and Amelia Crawley, for many years prominent residents of Norwich.  After the death of his wife John Crawley removed with his family to New York and for a time William K. Crawley, the deceased, conducted an art store in Brooklyn, very successfully until his stock was destroyed by fire.  Owing to the fact that the insurance on the stock had not been properly transferred, Mr. Crawley lost everything.  He then returned with his wife to Chenango county and took up his residence at North Norwich, where he had resided about 12 years and was esteemed by all who knew him.  Mr Crawley was a prominent member of the North Norwich Tent, K.O.T.M., and at the time of his death held the office of record and finance keeper.  His funeral was attended by over 60 members of the local tent of the order.  He is survived by his wife, Sarah J. Foote, whom he married in Brooklyn, and one son Stanley; also his aged father who resides in Brooklyn, two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Cook, of Cooperstown and Miss Anna Crawley, of Brooklyn and one brother, George, of New York. The funeral was held from his late home Saturday.  Rev W.D. Benton officiating.  Interment was made in Mt. Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY], the services at the grave were in charge of the Maccabees.
