YEAR'S ILLNESS TAKES LIFE OF C. CRUMPACKER

In the fall of that year he accepted a position with Armanis F. Knotts, former mayor of Hammond, one-time surveyor of Porter county, and later delegated by Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation to acquire the site for the steel town of Gary.

Later Mr. Crumpacker went to Humeston, Iowa, where he served five years as superintendent of a private school.
Giving up teaching, Mr. Crumpacker accepted a position as traveling salesman for a concern selling educational specialties and trustees' supplies.
Some years ago Mr. Crumpacker became connected with a brokerage firm in Chicago. For twenty-five years, up until his death he was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Grace Cornell Crumpacker; one stepdaughter, Mrs. Alice Weldy, wife of Dr. Claude Weldy, of Oak Park, Ill., and one brother, Judge Grant Crumpacker, of this city. The late Congressman Edgar Dean Crumpacker was a brother of the decedent. Harry L.
