Description

Photograph of Charles Lemuel Crabill as a young man.

Born in Washington D.C., Charles was the son of George Dallas and Della Jean (Munger) Crabill. His mother died of influenza in 1918 when Charles was six years old.

Charles was raised by Charles Edward and Permelia (Stickley) Crabill on Queen Street in Strasburg.

He married Mary Margaret "Peggy" (Hisey) Crabill in 1936.

In the 1940 census, he and Peggy had a son, Ralph, and Charles was a clerk in a retail grocery store.

At some point after this, he was a policeman in Strasburg.

By 1950, he and his wife had three children, Ralph, Sallie E., and Jean B. Crabill. The family still lived on Queen Street in Strasburg and Charles was a policeman in Mt. Jackson.

When he died, he worked at the weighing station in Stephens City.
