He is now living in Joplin, retired, after many years of earnest and prolific endeavor, and is eighty two years of age.

Cragin is indebted to the public schools of his native city for his early educational discipline which included a course in the high school. Soon after he assumed the position of shipping clerk for James Forester, of Dubuque, and after remaining with this concern for two years he removed to Grafton, North Dakota, where he was a clerical executive in the First National Bank for one year, thus gaining his initial experience in connection with the important line of enterprise in which he was destined secure so much of priority and success.
After leaving the institution mentioned Mr. Cragin returned to Dubuque. Shortly afterward, he went to Weir City, now known as Weir, Kans., where he became associated with his father in the establishing of the Weir City Bank, the entire stock of which was held by them. He assumed entire charge of the new institution and, he continued to conduct the business until January, 1888 , when the bank went into voluntary liquidation, owing to the fact that he desired and had secured a broader field of enterprise.
