He and his_brothers, Charles, Henry and Oliver Perry, were known everywhere as the Crandall Brothers. In early life John worked at stone- cutting on Quarry Hill. He was born December 25, 1851, and besides his brothers, is survived by his widow, who was Miss H. Louise Conner, and a sister, Mrs. Emily Chapman. The Crandall Brothers the direct descend- ants of Preacher John Crandall, the first Seventh-Day Baptist minister of America, and one of the earliest set- tlers in Newport. Their grandfather, John Crandall, fought in the Revo- lutionary war. The father of deceased, Charles Crandall, was a prominent far- mer in Westeriy, District No. 6. He was born February, 1797, and died on Nov. 24, 1874. He had served as cap- iain of militia and was an influential member of the Seventh Day Baptist church. “The Crandall brothers,” ac- cording to family history, “learned in childhood that to want anything meant to work for it; many a time they gladly worked arduously all day for twenty-five cents, satisfied with the pay—willing to earn it with all the might of their manly natures. Af- ter the father’s death, in 1874, the youngest, Oliver P. at the capable mother's suggestion, managed ‘tha farms, sharing equally with her all the products of the three adjoining properties. “In 1881 the three brothers pooled their assets, forming a company, the Crandall Brothers, having their gcod mother share with them, and the gen- ial hospitality of that happy home at- tracted friends at all hours. _The brothers responded day and night to the call of progress until their few acres increased to thousands. Their swamps of maple, pine and cedar sup- ply an ever increasing demand: that now out soil has been made toblos- scm like the rose. The brothers are leaders in everything they undertake; they have won for themselvas by their individual and combined efforts a position of honor; are associated with all measures tending to uplift the moral and advance the commercial standing of the community. Mrs. Crandall died at a greatly advanced age in the Crandall homestead, sur- rounded by the homes of her children, happy in the crowning joy of her life—the success of her boys, ‘“the Crandall Brothers.” The Crandall Brothers have nearing completion a fine business block in Canal street, and recently John F. and Oliver took up their residences in the village of Westerly. ry Charles Hen- remained on the old homestead. An active campaign is to be made Rhode Island Equal Suffrage on, and Mrs. Edwin C. Smith, of Providence, has been chosen head of a committee to organize the three congressional districts in the state for vigorous work in support of the fed- eral amendment for full suffrage to women.

Through the efforts of Congre O’Shaunnessy and the Providence Chamber of Commerce, the depart- ment of labor announces that it would suspend the immigration law to ena- ble a group of Portuguese immigrants under detention at Boston, on the charge of illiteracy, to proceed to their destinations in Rhode Island, provided they engage solely in agri- cultural work. This is in keeping with the action to permit Mexicans to cross the border and work an American farms. Also, the more recent decision that a number of French-Canadians, now in the United States, may return across the Maine border, notwith- | standing the immigration law.
