Formerly one of the leading apiarists of Central California, he is now making a success in the production of fruit and stock. Mr. Crane is a native of Kansas and was born September 2, 1872, son of O. Crane, who came from the Sunflower State to California in 1874, when Henry A. was about two years old, and lived in Yolo county until 1877. Then the Crane family moved to Tulare county, locating eight miles southwest of Hanford, in what is now Kings county, and the elder Crane took up railroad land which he later lost through litigation. While he occupied the property he farmed it successfully and took an active interest in the development of the district. He was a factor in securing the construction of a ditch through his part of the county and in bringing about the utilization of Mussel slough as a source of irrigation. He passed away May 7, 1909, after a life of industry and usefulness. In the neighborhood of his present home Henry Alden Crane was reared and educated, and to the public schools he gives credit for his literary start in life. His business beginning was as an apiarist in the district between Hanford and Cross creek, and he soon extended his operations until he had at one time four hundred colonies of bees. In 1900 he bought eighty acres in the heart of the Paddock district, eight miles southwest of Hanford, on which there was then twelve acres of old vineyard, but no other improvements. He has developed the place into a modern home ranch, with good and ample buildings and up-to-date appliances and appointments. He now has twenty-nine acres of his land in vineyard, six acres in peaches and the balance in alfalfa. He gives considerable attention to the breeding of horses, cattle and hogs, which bring a high price in the market. In 1911 he bought forty acres of the Jacobs tract, about twelve miles southwest of Hanford, which he is improving and ex¬pects soon to devote almost entirely to alfalfa. In April, 1902, Mr. Crane married Winifred Battenfeld, of Kings county, and they have a son, William Dale Crane. Mr. Crane takes a public-spirited interest in the economic and political affairs of his county, state and nation, and his solicitude for the improvement of the public schools in his vicinity caused him to accept the office of trustee of the Paddock school district, which he is filling with much ability and credit.
