"History of Carbon County" by Frederick Charles Brenckman, James J. Nungesser, publisher, Harrisburg, PA, 1913, Pages 416 and 417:

"Craig, Hector Tyndale, whose forefathers for generations figured conspicuously in the civil and military
annals of the commonwealth, is one of the prominent young business men of the lower end of Carbon county. He is associated with his brother, Thomas B. Craig, in the conduct of the mercantile business, and other interests established by his father, the late Colonel John Craig, at Lehigh Gap. Born at Lehigh Gap, October 17, 1873, Mr. Craig received his education in the schools of Lower Towamensing township, entering the employ of his father at the age of seventeen, and growing up in the business.

He is a director of the First National Bank of Slatington, and is secretary and treasurer of the Lehigh
Water Gap Bridge Company.

Mr. Craig is a "companion of the first class" in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, and is a member of the various Masonic bodies. He is also identified with the Odd Fellows and the Sons
of Veterans.

In 1907 he was united in marriage to Annie C., daughter of the late James B. Roeder, who was a teller in the Second National Bank of Allentown. Three children have been born to them: Richard T., Ruth, and James I. Craig. They reside in the old Craig homestead at Lehigh Gap."
