Honors for Deacon Crawford.

New York, 1895

Deacon John W. Crawford is one of the pillars of the Flushing Methodist church. He won a bicycle at the Mercury wheel club raffle, and shortly afterwards returned it because of conscientious scruples. He has been re-elected president of the Epworth league. This is his sixth term. Mr. Crawford is also a village trustee and a prominent mason.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 21, 1895, p. 1.
