BIOGRAPHICAL: 
Hon. JOHN W. CRAWFORD -- The present Mayor of Salem, was born on a farm in Muskingham county, Ohio, January 6, 1835. He remained at home until he was of age, when he entered Monmouth College, Illinois, from which institution he graduated in 1859. He studied law for about two years and was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of Illinois in March 1861. The war of the rebellion breaking out that year, Mr. Crawford enlisted in the Seventeenth Illinois Regiment of Infantry and served over three years with the Army of the Mississippi and with his regiment participated in the fights at Fredricktown, Missouri, Fort Donaldson, Shiloh, and before Corinth and Vicksburg, when those places were invested by Generals Halleck and Grant. Mr. Crawford came to Oregon in 1866, and by his indomitable energy has succeeded in building up a large and profitable business in Salem. 
He is a clear-headed, conscientious citizen, and has taken more than ordinary interest as a member of the Common Council and of the Fire Department in making Salem a moral, law-abiding city and a delightful place of residence.
