THE GUARD, SEPTEMBER 9, 1893
IN MEMORY OF COMRADE C.P. CRANDALL
Clark Paul Crandall was born in Alfred, Allegany, New York, in December, 1827, and died in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Friday, August 25, 1893, being 65 years and 4 months old.
In 1849, the young man went to California, and a few years later sailed up the coast to Oregon. In that state he bacame a man of influence, serving in the Legislature, sucessfully editing the Oregonian, one of the few dailies on the Pacific, and filling the office of Provisional Commander of that Department of the Grand Army of the Republic. About twenty years ago he was appointed a clerk in the Treasury Department where he remained until 1884, when he resigned and with comrade W.S. Odell, opened a claim attorney's office. He sold to his partner three years later, and was soon appointed an assistant door keeper of the United Sataes Senate, in which capacity he died. His health had been failing for some years, and in early July his doctor sent him to Atlantic City. He reached the seashore, but died without leaving the room he had entered ten weeks before.
He was a captain in the 1st Oregon infantry, and the third commander of Burnside Post, of this Department, following comrades Lawrence and Alexander.
As an Odd fellow, he had recieved the highest honors attainable in the jurisdiction, and his funeral was in part conducted by that order, and Rev. Dr. Stier, the chaplian, made an appropriate address at the Hamline M.E. church where the services were held, on Sundau, the 27th of August, and were largely attended by Odd Fellowa and Grand Army comrades.
In accordance with the desire of comrade Crandall, he was buried at Arlington. The ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic was conducted by commander Vanderhoef and Chaplain Tallmadge. At it's close, and with willing response to the expressed desires of the deceased, his successor as commander of Burnside Post, his dear friend and comrade, Dr. J.A. Huntoon, delivered a brief address.. He spoke sensibly, feelingly, elequently, and we are glad to print the model panegyric. Another friend of the dead, Hon. R Hermann, M. C., of Oregonadded a graceful tribute, and then a buglar sounded "tapps"and the company slowly went away, leaving another soldier awaiting the judgement day, a guest in the peaceful keepingof Arlington's sweet earth.
Comrade Crandall's character was marked by four constant qualities:honor, modesty, gratitude, loyalty, - loyalty to country and to friends. He was direct, brave, void of sham; impatient at times, but sympathetic; not faultless but truthful. May he rest in peace."The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 49, No 37, p 592, Sep. 14, 1893.
At Atlantic City, N. J., August 25, 1893, Clark Paul Crandall, of cancer of the stomach.
During his earlier years Mr. Crandall's parents lived both at Alfred, N. Y., and Milton, Wis., at which places many of their relatives are still living, and finally located in Oregon. He was a lawyer, and for many years had been connected with the government at Washington, at which place he was laid to rest.
