Description  After many years at Kanti, Crawford had a difference with his old friend, Dr. D. Begg, who had become proprietor of Kanti, Motipur, Bekonpur, Belsund and Rajpund Factories. Crawford then purchased and took over charge of Tatterreah Factory. Remained at Tatterreah a short time, then went home to England, leaving his brother, Andrew, in charge. After Andrew died of cholera in the next year, David returned to India. He put James Smith in charge, and again returned to England. After some years, when Smith left, Crawford sold the factory and retired for good. Died in Cheltenham “at a good old age in the midst of many of his old contemporaries, who, again in their turn, have joined the majority.” Left two sons and two daughters. His eldest son managed Bara c.1905, and was “a worthy representative of his father. His younger brother, who is very many years his junior, is in England. Mrs. Crawford survived her husband but a short time.”
