the second bust made by Ken. the first being of his wife. The creator said he plans to display the bust m the bank in the near future and will then give the bust to some town facility like the library or bank, to keep Now brings a question needing clarification. records. by Harmless show the correct spelling of the town father, the other being Henry Ward, as Crawson. however, spelling over the years has been Crosson, as at the scout cabin site of Crosson Mill Park. Records for name spelling on the plaque of the bust are from biographical and historical records of Kosciusko county and published by Lewis Publishing Co . Chicago. 1887

The Syracuse cemetery contains four graves in the Crosson family, one with the name of Samuel Crosson. 1851. son of Nancy and Samuel Crosson. An abstract in the possession of Hark less has the name Crawson underlined at the start, and finishes with Crosson, and a local attorney said this undoubtedly means the name has been misspelled. When, where, why was the name spelling changed, if this is the same town father, co-founder of our town in 1837? Progress is being made on the bank expansion on Main street and it is amazing how the brick is matching that on the second story of the 1902 building.
