Elizabeth D. Crane - Lemuel
Crane married Benjamin Wilson's daughter and bought the Clark Wilson House at 5
Andover Street from the Wilson estate. "Lemuel Crane worked with a
relative, Samuel Crane, who operated a smoke house on Central Street
above the former Peabody High School. The Cranes cured ham and bacon,
which was sent to them by butchers of the area. Lemuel Crane was a Quaker, and
the quality of his products was of the best. The Crane house descended to
his daughter, Elizabeth, who married Daniel B. Lord. Mr. Lord
served as Chief Engineer of the Peabody Fire Department from 1887 to 1890."
