The residence was located at the bottom of Crandon Hill at the Corner of Robbins Avenue. The image also shows the stone quarry where many childhood memories were made. Family History James' Mother, Eliza Mason Crandon (1811-1869) and Father, Elmedorus Crandon (1803-1886). James Crandon (1833-1918) and siblings: Lucy Crandon Falwell (x-1928), Jemima C. Crandon Adams (1830-1917), Sarah Jane Crandon (1836-1836), Edgar Crandon (1840-1882), Ira Crandon (1844-1911). James married Orida Susannah Foster (1841-1937) in 1861.
