J. F. CRUMP

	J. F. Crump is one of the prosperous ranchmen living on Applegate creek.  He
was born in Macoupin county, Illinois, October 27, 1863, and is a son of Josiah
and Rebecca (Street) Crump.  His parents emigrated to Oregon, crossing the
plains with a two-horse team, in 1865.  The family then consisted of seven
members.  After a short time spent in the Willamette valley the family removed
to Jackson county where they located on the rance four miles south of
Jacksonvlle and there continued to maintain their residence until the time of
Josiah Crump's death, which occurred many years ago.
	J. F. Crump was reared in his father's home and acquired his elementary
education in the public common schools.  His father having died when he was but
seventeen years of age the condition of the family was such that it was
necessary for him to take his father's place as manager of the home ranch and
assume all the cares incident to the protection and improvement of the property
and the support of the family.  On attaining his majority he became engaged at
Sterling as a miner and continued in that employment for a period of thirteen
years.  In 1899 he severed his connections with the Sterling mines and purchased
a ranch on Little Applegate creek.  There he established his home and has since
continued to reside.
	J. F. Crump was united in marriage to Miss Cora B. Ankeny, on October 8,
1893.  Mrs. Crumpis a daughter of Henry E. and Cordelia L. (Stryker) Ankeny.
Her parents moved to this state with their parents when they were small
children.  To Mr. and Mrs. Crump three children have been born, Vivian B., John
A., and Harold F.
	Mr. Crump is one of the leading and successful farmers on Little Applegate
creek and he is always identified with every public measure seeking the
advancement and improvement of the people throughout this section of the state.
