  GRAMLICH and CRUMLY Families by Ed Crumly

  
  

• Notes

  Edward moved to Taney County, Missouri and on October 7, 1893 they purchased 160 acres of land, northeast quarter of section twentyone in township twentyfour north of range twentyone. This land was north of present day Bronson, Missouri; just south of Christian County line. They went to school and church at Billings, Missouri, located in Christian County. They moved to Canada in 1904. Ed Crumly (Note: the name change from Gramlich to Crumly] and his son Lawrence, came from Billings, Missouri in 1904 and homsteaded just south of Stalwart (now Frank Wolff's homestead SE 9-26-25 W2]. He shipped up a carload of household goods, machinery and livestock. Mrs. Crumly and the three youngest childred came in June. The three oldest children, Lila, Henry, and Louisa stayed in the United States. It is recalled that during the winter of 10-4-1905 the men of the district put in a fish net, 150 foot long, near the mouth of the Arm to help the food supply. Several men would go each time the net was to be lifted. One very cold windy day noses, ears and cheeks were being frozen every little while because no one had the proper clothing to withstand these sub-ero temperatures. Ed's Missouri cap did not quite cover the lobes of his ears, nor did his coat collar cover his chin, so he put an empty gunny sack around his head. Naturally, the wind and cold went through the sack, and the men would draw Ed's attention to a frozen spot and he would rub the frost with the gunny sack. The following the Sunday the folks gathered at the Crumly's for the weekly "get-together" and there was Ed, with two black ear lobes, his nose half black, and two cheeks with a great black spot on each one, and his chin also black. The gunny sack had rubbed off the top skin, so Ed must have suffered severly, but his cheerful smile was still there.
