A. {Alvah} Crandall

Alvah Crandall

Mention in "Pioneers In Peaceful Rest" "One of the earliest stones in the cemetery is that of Alvah Crandall who died July 20, 1843 at the age of 39. It is a shaft about three feet tall, oblong in shape and well preserved in comparison to some of the others. Several Crandalls were prominent in the early history of Bremen, Thornton and Worth townships and even today Dan Crandall of Worth is township road commissioner."

{Alvah (born July 20, 1804) was a brother of Heman, David, Mark, Martha (married Stephen Jones), Elizabeth (married Otis Wattles), Ruey (married David Wadhams), and Ethan who all came to this area. Heman, David, & Mark are believed to have walked here from Moira N.Y. in 1833. Alvah & Elizabeth came in 1841. Several were prominent in the history of Bremen, Worth and Thornton Townships.}

{Many of the Crandall families are now buried at Mount Greenwood Cemetery, Chicago.}
