ALBERT I. CRANDALL

     One of the younger generation of successful business men of Lebanon is
Albert I. Crandall, for several years identified with building interests there,
and since 1900 the owner and manager of the Lebanon planing mill. He comes of a
family, well represented in the business of that town, for his father, John N.
Crandall, has been engaged in building and contracting there since 1891.  John
Crandall was born in Ohio, September 13, 1836, and when quite young removed, to
Van Buren county, Iowa, where he worked at his trade of carpentering, and also
managed his farm. In Iowa he married Charlotte Jane Brown, a native of Iowa.
They resided on their farm until 1877, when they removed to Smith Center, Kans.
This continued to be their home until 1891, the father in the meantime working
at his trade with considerable success. He has succeeded well in Lebanon, and
some of the finest work in his line, in the town has been done by him. At
present Mr. Crandall is sixty-six years old, while his wife is two years his
junior. Their married life has been harmonious and happy, and their children
have proved a credit to the practical training and wholesome occupations to
which they were reared. 
     Albert I. Crandall was born in Van Buren county, Iowa, October 19, 1868,
and was educated in the public schools.  As a small boy he learned a great deal
about tools and woodwork. Working constantly with his father, he became a
practical builder, and at the age of twenty-three, when he came to Oregon,
settled down to active work at his trade. Working with his father and brother
Lewis until 1900, he purchased the Lebanon planing mill, which is turning out
large quantities of general building materials. April 12, 1899, Mr. Crandall
married Nettie Amos, a native of Oregon, of which union there has been born a
daughter, Hilda A.
     A prominent figure in the politics of Lebanon, Mr. Crandall is stanchly
supporting the Republican party, in the ranks of which he has held numerous
offices. He is a member of the county central committee, and has served as
deputy county recorder and assessor. The spirit of fair play and personal
integrity which this rising young politician brings to the interests of his
party, pre-supposes a continuation of his popularity. Add to this his standing
as a business man, and his adopted town has cause to regard as fortunate the
association of himself and family with the city of Lebanon.
