'''Early Years''' Hiram Crawford was born in the USA in 1832 and came to Victoria in 1853 to work the gold diggings. I found gold on the Woolshed and soon founded the coaching business of Crawford & Co.
I did some gold mining with Dr [[Hiutchinson|Hutchinson]].
In 1860 with others including Cobb & Co I founded regular coach services between Albury and Melbourne
I was elected Mayor of [[Chiltern|Chiltern]] in 1863
After a time in Melbourne when I was in partnership with John '''Leonard''' in the Eastern Archade in Burke St east I came back to [[Beechworth|Beechworth]] I had a successful business career
My business had the contract to take mail between the [[Chiltern|Chiltern]] post office and the railway station 4 times a day,
I also had the contract between [[Wodonga (2)|Wodonga]] to Tintaldra via Bonegilla, Bethanga, Talgarno, Bungil, Thologolong, Burrowye, Jingellic, Walwa
I built and managed the Eastern Arcade in Beechworth
Sherritts at my paddock. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 1/7/1879 (2)|Argus1/7/79]])
