• Notes

  Name: CRAWFORD, Delano A Title: Extension: Nickname: Pete Age: 76 DOB: 18Apr1921 Locality: Center Twp Butler Newspaper: Butler Eagle Date/Page: 5 Jan 1998 p7 Film #: 619 Resided 209 Thornley Drive, Center Township. Owner and operator of Crawford's Jewelry. Was a member of the Elks VFW Post 249 and a 50 year Mason. Served in the Pacific with the 5th Air Force, awarded the Purple Heart. Two daughters Beverly Balint and Linda Newcaster of Butler. I had met him several times in the Crawford Jewelry in Butler. He had no interest in ancestry. One time he brought out a small oil painting of his mother's cottage on Slippery Rock Creek that had been painted by Aunt Claire Drollinger. So there must have been some family contact once upon a time.
