Obituary. Perry Crabbs, whose remains were intoned in Maple.vood ceme’erv list Tuesday, died of paralysis Aug. 21st, at his h<m>e in Toledo. Ohio. He was born near Olivesburg, Ohio, March 28, 1828, and came to Decatur in the spring of 1847, and commenced clerking for his uncle, James Crabbs, who was then selling goods in the room now known as the ofiL e of the Burt House, where he remained until 1849, when he formed a co-partnership with his cousin, Joseph Crabbs, in general merchandizing, which lasted until 1862, when he sold his interest to his partner and moved to Toledo, Ohio, wheie he was* engaged in the wholesale grocery business which he followed for a tew years, and then entered the grain commiss on business, in which he cor.tii.tied until his death.

The following is taken from the Toledo Produce Exchange Ot August 22, 1891: The announcement is made to this exchange of the death of another one of its most worthy, honorable and respected members. Mr. Perry Crabbs died yesterday afternoon, at his residence in this city. Mr. Crabbs had been in broken health for years, and to his closest friends it has been clear that he was gradually approaching the end of life; and while, with a sturdy bravery he fought the great de strojer step by step, the result that was so sure, finally came to him suddenly. He was on the floor of our exchange a week before his death. Our friend has had a long and active business career. He came to Toledo in 1862, and commenced the wholesale grec ery business, in a few years embarked in the grain commission. He was connected lor a long period with the late W. H. Bellman, esq., and which connection was only dissolved by the illness that followed him and terminated his life. In his long intercoursewith the business interests o! Toledo, Mr. Crabbs develped more ;hao ord-na y in eliigence, a taithiul Ldevotkn to business, an unswerving integ■rity, un<i his trie’ d-hip for his fellows full ml fidelny an 1 I'yality. Therefore be it Resolved, ft>at be placed on the recoids of the association, a coyp of them be sent to his family, and that we attend the funr.ra! in a bedv. Resolved, That we provide for draping our h ;1), a- usual, and that the exchange now adjourn. Removal ot an Annoyance of Years. J. B.
