[peru1812.ged]
Farmer From Elba In 1883 At Lena's Birth; Leaves Farm In 18 90
U.S. Produce Dealer
Weber Ave., Oakfield, Genesee, New York
Gave up farming and moved into the town of Oakfield. Had s ome political jobs and was an apple broker (Martha H. Winsl ow).
Beers' (1890) "Gazateer" (p.251) notes that Maxwell & Ensig n's owned a Batavia malthouse until 1881 when "Craft & Cald well purchased the business and have carried it on since, m alting 35,000 bushels of barley per year." It's not clea r whether the Henry Craft associated with this business i s related to George or members of his family. Henry's busi ness activities are described on p.265 and he is noted (p.2 52) as a director of "Consumers' Electric Light & Power County " of Batavia. Again, there is no clear connection betwee n George Hyde Craft and this Henry.
George Hyde and Fanny Fern were married in a religious ceremony on March 23rd, 1881. They had two daughters named Lena May and Edna Adele.
