1923 Obituary.[3]
Manchester loses one of its most distinguished and highly regarded business figures by the death of Mr. Theodore Crewdson, in his 89th year. Mr. Crewdson's business connections with this city, in one of his years naturally covers several generations. He died from pneumonia on Sunday at Dudwick House, Buxton, Norfolk, where he was staying for the time being.
Mr. Crewdson's residence "The Spurs," Styal, and his death will be regretted not only in business circles, but by a vast number of friends in the country. A more kindly, generous man, especially where social work was concerned, would be hard to find. A beneficent supporter of charities, Mr. Crewdson's name figured prominently in many of Manchester's subscription lists but his goodness did not cease there, as a host of people could testify. Non-sectarian work especially appealed to him, and as an example of only two interests, his honorary treasurership of the Manchester Business Young Ladies' Association and the office of chairman of the Manchester City Mission, are characteristic of him.
Mr. Crewdson never took to the motor-car; a cab and a trap were more to his taste. He loved an older England than we know to-day. One of the oldest members of the Manchester Royal Exchange, he was for many years a prominent member of the firm of Horrockses, Crewdson, and Co., his connection ceasing only with the famous amalgamation. Other important connections were the firms of M'Keen and Crewdson and Crewdson and Grierson, near Preston. The deceased gentleman was the youngest son of the late Joseph Crewdson, of Manchester, and Mrs. Crewdson. (Anna Wright, of Buxton). He will be buried quietly this evening at Buxton Lamas Burial Ground.
