Biographical Note
Samuel Leroy Crawford (1855-1916) was born in Oregon City, Clakamas County, Oregon. He moved with his family to Olympia, Washington in 1869 and joined the staff of the Washington Standard where he learned the printer's trade. In 1875 while serving as Assistant Clerk of the Washington Territorial House of Representative, he visited Seattle and impressed by the opportunities there, decided to relocate. He worked for the Daily Intelligencer, the predecessor of the Seattle Post Intelligencer where he held every position from pressman to half owner. He left the newspaper in 1888 to form a real estate business with Charles T. Conover, also a former employee of the newspaper. The firm enjoyed considerable success with Samuel L. Crawford as president and treasurer and Clayton Crawford as secretary.
Crawford and Clara M. Clayton were married in 1890. Together they had two sons, Clayton, who worked with his father, and Wallace W., who attended West Point.
