Another Old Settler Gone.
While he might not be termed one of the
pioneers of Cleveland, Mr. John C. Black, who died Apr. 16 at
the advanced age of 77 years, was yet one of the early settlers,
having been a resident of the city since 1849. Mr. Black
was born in Indiana county, Pa., some fifty-miles from Pittsburg, in
1811. He inherited to a large degree the strength and
ruggedness of his native Pennsylvania hills. For over
twenty-five years he was engaged as builder and contractor in
Cleveland, but for the last few years he had practically retired
from active business. He leaves surviving him an aged widow
and four children, two sons, Alonzo J. and William H.
Black, and two daughters, Mrs. J. T. R. McKay and Mrs.
J. G. James, and eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild,
all at present residents of Cleveland.-----

A girl 14 years of age, Snyder
by name, was found in the street April 18 by a daughter of Mr.
Reese of No. 6 Brainard street and accompanied Miss Reese
home. The Snyder girl says that some time ago she
stayed with a family living on Dare street and that they turned her
out of doors. Mr. Reese has kindly cared for the girl
and is willing to keep her.

A Remarkable Surgical Operation
A delicate operation was performed at
the charity hospital yesterday on Maggie Meehan, alias
Robinson alleged wife of John Robinson who is under
sentence of death for participation in the murder of Detective
Hulligan at Ravenna. For a long time she has had a tumor
of the abdomen, the character of which had never been determined
upon. Twice before coming to Cleveland she was put upon the
operating table and etherized, but the surgeons did not venture to
undertake the operation of removal. She has been lying in the
charity hospital three weeks and her case was discussed by many
prominent surgeons of Cleveland. It was finally decided to
perform the operation, although the chances of recovery were greatly
against the patient. The operation was performed with great
difficulty and much time was consumed in its performance. It
consisted of opening the abdominal cavity and removing therefrom a
large amount of us. Further escape of this was provided for by
a number of tubes and the abscess and abdominal cavities were washed
out with many gallons of water. The operation required about
two yours' time and was performed by a well known surgeon of this
city in the presence of a number of prominent medical men. The
patient bore up well under the operation and late last night was
doing well. although the operation was one of great risk there
is a fair chance of her recovery.

MERCHANT DIES
Owned Meat Market on Lorain 50 years
One of the early merchants in the
Lorain Avenue area, Edward A. Crawford, died last night at 85
in his home at 9115 Lorain.
His home was behind the meat market which he operated
foraalmost 50 years before retiring about 15 years ago.
Born in Barbados, West Indies, Mr. Crawford came
to Cleveland when he was 20. His first work here was as a
motorman for a predecessor company of the old Cleveland Transit
System. He recalled driving an open horsecar from the barns at
Lorain Avenue and W. 98th Street to Woodland Avenue S. E.
Opens Market
Later he worked in the stockyards and
then opened his market at 9117 Lorain Avenue. The store gained
a reputation for corned beef which brought customers from as far as
Cleveland Heights.
Mr. Crawford owned the business until two years
ago. Now known as Henry's Market, it is owned by Henry
Naujoks, who began working there for Mr. Crawford at 14.
Breeding and showing dogs, chiefly Airedales, and
raising canaries provided a hobby for Mr. Crawford in his
later years.
His wife, Nancy, died 17 years ago. There
are no survivors.
