NoteTanner Crandall, son of Unknown Crandall and Tacy Tanner, was born 1April 1784 in New York State and died 22 Sept. 1854 in Cass County,Michigan, U.S.A. married about 1817 Susan Hall, He also married 1805 Hannah Brakeman. EARLY HISTORY --------------------------- Tanner Crandall was born in 1784. in New York State, U.S.A., His greaterpart of his life was spent in Chenango County, New York, and BradfordCounty, Pennsylvania. He was twice married, his first Wife's name being Hannah Brakeman. Tothis union were born seven children, three sons and four daughters asfollows: Lewis, Lodovick, Hiram, Diantha, Dianna, Didama, and Lydia.Also, Tanner Crandall had two brothers, Hosea and Kellup, but of theirhistory little or nothing is known. Tanner Crandall was next married toSusan Hall about the year 1817, and to this union were born twelvechildren: Hannah, Ransom, Betsy, Alzina, Nancy, Emeline, Adaline,Caroline, who died at the age of two years, then Caroline, Henry andSusan, and one son that died in infancy. There is but very little of early life of Tanner Crandall that has beenhanded down to the present time. It is told of him that as a boy he wasdecidedly light complexion, with golden hair, and was at times very muchout of sorts with his uncles who would persist in tormenting him abouthis sandy locks, so much that upon one occasion he determined to remedyhis misfortune. So one day he appeared at the dinner table with what was intended to beraven locks, but what was but a sorry imitation. The change had beenbrought about by rubbing his head against a charred pine log in a nearbyclearing, but the change did not prove to be permanent, and in after lifewe believe he was perfectly satisfied with his 'Golden Locks' We have incidentally spoken of his uncles. We have been told that, forsome reason or other, Tanner was at an early taken into the family of hisgrandparents. There is no accurate history as to how this came about, butit is generally believed to be the fact that he was at early age left anorphan. We now draw the curtain over the scene and take up the history of the twofamilies in connection with each other, as it would be impossible towrite a history of one without mention of the other. As in the history of the Crandall family, we cannot go back any fartherthan that of Joseph Lake, in the Lake family. Joseph Lake was born inthe year 1797, but history is lacking here, also as to where, but quitelikely in the state of New York, as the greater part of his life wasspent in that state. He was married to Miss Sallie Norton, about the year 1815, and to thisunion were born eleven children: Richmond, Olive, Abigail, Sallie, Nancy,George, Jane, Julany, Joseph, Charles, and William. These two families of which we are writing, lived in an age of which thepresent generation is almost entirely ignorant, a time when the greatestnecessity to use every means of economy in all branches of husbandry andManagement. The girls were taught the art of housekeeping at a very early age, andjust as soon as they became old enough they were taught how to weave andspin and sew, for at that time every family was supposed to raiseeverything on the farm that went into the clothes as well as on the table. Sheep were kept and flax was grown. The wool was sheared from the sheepand cleansed, and carded, or made into rolls, and spun into yarn. Theflax was pulled after matured, hetched, or the woody part stripped fromthe fibre, and then the fibre was spun into threads. The yarn and threadwere then woven into cloth called linsey-woolsey, or into pure woolen orpure linen, on a hand loom; all this labor being done by hand, andmostly, if not altogether, by the female help of the family. In Grandmother's day-------------------------------- In grandmother's day They did some queer things in a very queer way; My grandmother told me about them one night When the curtains were drawn and the grate-fire was bright, I was all cuddled up snug in my bed, With the dreadfullest, achingest cold in my head; She explained everything as she went along, And spelled the hard words, so I couldn't tell wrong --- And she told me how little girls used to play In grandmother's day In grandmother's day They worked from the dawn to the twilight gray; And, oh, just think of their poor, aching backs! They pulled and they cured and they flailed the flax To get out the seed; then broke the stalks, so They scutch out the shives and hackle out tow; Then they spun, reeled, and sized it, and wound on a spool, And warped, wove and bleached it, for linen sheets cool; It seems to me life was not a bit gay, In grandmother's day In grandmother's day She says they found time to sing and to pray -- And even some time to learn things at school; They carded and spun and reeled it, she said. Then dyed it a blue or a green or a red, Then wove it and cut it, and each made a dress They called linsey-woolsey -- (she spelled it) -- I guess; I'm gladdest of glad that I didn't play In grandmother's day. The father and sons cared for the stock which would consist of enoughsheep to supply the needs of the family with wool, a cow or two, andperhaps a team of horses but with more likely a 'yoke' of oxen, and a fewpigs. Also they usually would plant a little corn and wheat andpotatoes, just enough to supply the family needs. It was under just such conditions that the Crandall - Lake family cameinto being.
