: Obituary For R. G. Mccraw, Postmaster Of Craigvale; Obituary from an 1897 newspaper for the former Postmaster of Craigvale, Mr. Robert Gordon McCraw, who had served in the position for forty years. The text of the article, which also features a photograph of Mr. McGraw with a white beard, reads: "Death removed one of the oldest, best known and most highly respected residents of Innisfil on Friday evening, when R.G. McCraw, postmaster at Craigvale, passed away. His illness lasted but eight days and the news of its fatal termination came as a sad shock to his friends for few were aware of the serious nature of his illness. On Thursday, April 16, he had a very severe hemorrhage of the stomach, and this was followed by other attacks that his constitution was unable to withstand. Gastric ulcers is given as the cause of death. During his illness he did not suffer and his end was a peaceful one. Robert Gordon McCraw was born in Edinburgh, Scotland Feb. 1 1837, and came to Canada in 1857. After working at his trade for a time in Toronto and Bolton, he removed to Innisfil and in 1864 began business as merchant tailor in Craigvale. Some forty years ago he was appointed postmaster and later gave up the tailoring and conducted a small general store. Though Mr. McCraw was a staunch Liberal in politics, there never was any attempt made in that strongly Conservative section to have him dismissed when the Conservatives were in power. Mr. McCraw came of good old Scotch Presbyterian stock. His father, John McCraw, was an elder for many years in Rev. Dr. Guthrie's church, Edinburgh, and when the son left home he carried from that celebrated divine a letter to ministers in Canada.
