  Frank Crabb, who is serving as trustee of the Brown county insane asylum, is interested in the development of De Pere where he has spent his entire life. He was born here, May 8, 1862, and is a son of Philip and Catherine (Tillman) Crabb, natives of Belgium. His father was born near Brussels and came to America in early manhood, settling in Green Bay. He farmed there until 1867, when he removed to De Pere and engaged in general merchandising until his death, which occurred in 1879. He and his wife were among the early settlers of Wisconsin and were witnesses of much of the growth and development of that state. After the death of his first wife the father of our subject was again married, his second union being with Miss Gertrude Sanders, a member of an old Holland family and a daughter of Martin Sanders, a well known shoemaker of De Pere. By this marriage were born four children. After his father's death he inherited the business and conducted the store upon the same site for five years. He later conducted a saloon at De Pere and is numbered among the pioneers in the retail liquor business, having a record of twenty-seven years' activity at one location. His business ability is of a high order and has combined with his industry and integrity to hasten his success. The place survived the great De Pere fire which occurred on April 23, 1882, and has been continuously prosperous. Mr. Crabb, however, does not allow his attention to be absorbed by one line of activity for his interests are broad in scope and separately effective. He is a stockholder in various enterprises which directly or indirectly influence the growth and development of De Pere and is in all respects an enterprising, progressive and substantial citizen. Mr. Crabb married Miss Alice Van der Hyden, a daughter of John and Dora (Manders) Van der Hyden, early settlers of De Pere. To Mr. and Mrs. Crabb have been born seven children, four of whom are still living: 1. Cecelia, who married H. Peters, a general merchant in De Pere; 2. Philip A., who married Mayme Hoff, and who is residing in De Pere with his wife and two children; 3. Theresa, who lives at home; and 4. George A., who is associated in business with his father. Mr. Crabb was reared Roman Catholic and is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters. He is a democrat and one of the active workers in the interests of his party. He served as a delegate to numerous conventions and was for ten years a member of the county board, doing at that time the same useful, energetic and constructive work which marks his present position as trustee of the county insane asylum, in which capacity he has been serving since 1910. All interests which tend to promote the public welfare receive his endorsement and support and he is numbered among the progressive residents of his city.
