"In 1867 Mr. Crossman was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the State of Michigan, representing the second District of Ingham County and continued in this office for two terms, four years. Beginning in 1873 he was for eighteen years chief clerk of the House of Representatives, and at his three last elections he received the unanimous vote of every member of that body both Democrat and Republican. For six years he was a member of the Board of Control of the State Reform School and for the last two years of that term its Treasurer. In 1876 he was substituted for one of the presidential electors for Rutherford B. Hayes and was subsequently summoned to Washington to give testimony before the Electoral Commission. He has now retired from public office on account of his health. Mr. Crossman helped to organize the Michigan Miller's Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and for six years was its President and Adjuster, until he was no longer able to travel about upon its business." From: 1891 Portrait and Biographical Album Ingham & Livingston Counties Michigan.
