Charles W. Crabtree
Charles W. Crabtree was born in Greenfield, N. B., Oct. 20, 1874, the son of Sarah Ann Kiney [sic., i.e. Kinney] and William Henry Crabtree [sic., i.e. Crabb]. He was one of a family of 13 children, seven of whom survive.
Although hampered by ill health since a young man he never complained and even to the last he was a silent sufferer, thinking only of those about him. Always looking for something that his health would allow him to do he had been a farmer, carpenter, lumberman, salesman and potato buyer. He had been West three times, going once when a young man, once with a brother and later with his family. He returned about 19 years ago since which time he had resided in or near Dover-Foxcroft. He was not affiliated with any order but had been a woodman and granger and was a loyal citizen of his adopted country.
March 12, 1902 he married Miss Minnie Clark then of Easton, Maine, who survives him. Surviving also are his aged mother, four daughters and one son: Mrs. Elton Burgess, Mrs. Willard Leland, Ruth, Doris and William Crabtree, two grandsons, Glen and Irwin Burgess, three sisters, Mrs. H. H. Anderson, South Dover, Mrs. S. E. Thomas, Milo, Mrs. Annie Bolster of Portland, four brothers, Talmadge [sic] of South Dover, Wesley of Oakland, David of Beaconsfield, N. B. and Everette [sic] of Lasantville, Indiana, besides many cousins, nephews and nieces.
Funeral services were held at the U. B. church in this town Thursday morning at 10:30. Rev. J. W. Meisner spoke words of comfort to the many friends and relatives present. Interment was in the family lot at South Dover beside a son who died in infancy.
Transcribed, 25 Apr 2021, by Duane E. Crabtree, a grand nephew.
His daughter, Eva Crabtree Burgess, remembered being told that he was born "over the Mash." The Crabtree house on the [1876?] wall map of Carleton County was on the White Marsh Creek, thus probably where Uncle Charles was born!
