Pioneers - Bill Crawford
Bill Crawford
was another pillar of the town.
Active in the transfer business in
Stewart's
early days, he moved to Alice Arm and operated a packtrain during the
boom days of the
Dolly Varden mine.
He and his family returned to Stewart when the
rush
started up the Salmon River, big strikes having been made at the famous
Premier and Big Missouri mines.
Bill did well in this venture; to the extent that he built his own
wharf where the
Union Steamship Company's vessels called.
At dances, Bill was a shining
light, and ever the life of the party. Mrs. Crawford
and
their four daughters were all assets to the community.
