In the mid-1930s, when 20th Michigan veteran and widower Anson Croman was in his early 90s, his granddaughter Bessie (Musbach) Mitchell’s was raising her three young children on her own.

Anson Croman helped support his granddaughter and his three great-grandchildren by buying a car for his granddaughter so she could drive to her job a teacher in

My mother-in-law talked fondly of how how her great-grandfather Anson took loving care of her. He seemed to fulfill the role of not only great-grandfather but of father.

Just as Anson Croman did in 1862 when Abraham Lincoln asked for more volunteers to save the country from secessionists attempting to secede and set up a nation based on an ideology of racial supremacy with race based slavery, Anson Croman stepped up again.
