Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memoriam: Janes Crossen, March 9th, 1826 December 9th, 1890; Margaret Jame Crossen, May 12th, 1832 April 18th, 1901; Frederick John Crossen, June 11th, 1870 March 14th, 1896 James Crossen was born at Comber, County Down, Ireland, on the 9th of March, 1826, the son of James Crossen and Mary Abernethy Crossen. In the year 1842 his father came to America with his wife and nine children and settled on a farm in western New York, near Batavia. In the year 1843 James Crossen, jr., came to Cobourg and later started a foundry. His business in fitting up mills took him far and wide through the country, then known as the Newcastle District. He became acquainted with the family of Rev. William Hayden at Cold Springs, and shortly after, on the 28th April, 1854, he was married to Margaret Jane, the third daughter of the Congregational minister. He was then 28 years of age and his bride six years younger. They settled in Cobourg, where they lived for the remainder of their lives. His business expanded until 1866, when he began the construction of ore and freight cars. From the building of simpler forms of cars, the business developed into a complete establishment for the erection and construction of all kinds of cars - freight, passenger and sleeping-cars. Good work, honest work, reliable work - these were guiding aims of his operations, and these were the foundations of his success. His elder son, William James Crossen, was associated with him in his work, and his younger son, Fredrick John Crossen, was fitting himself to enter upon the same work. It was during his return from visiting his son Fred, then studying at Boston, that he was taken ill. He reached Montreal and was stopping at the home of his friend, Mr. Robert Cowans. Here he died on the 9th of December, 1890. This was the first break of the family circle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
