PIONEER OAKLAND BUILDER PASSES

Peter Crinnlon, pioneer contractor and builder of the state, and a resident of Oakland since the early 70's, passed away at his home, Webster and Hobart streets, early today, surrounded by his family.

Crinnlon was a native of Ireland. He came to the United States when a boy and later to California. Shortly afterward he established in Oakland, where he became a contractor. Through the years that followed he made a host of loyal friends.

The dead man is survived by a widow, Mary Crinnlon, a daughter, Miss Eleanor Crinnlon, and three sons, Edward P. Crinnlon, automobile editor of THE TRIBUNE; George J. Crinnlon, and Walter F. Crinnlon, all residents of Oakland.
