Josiah Crump (ca. 1838–1890) was an African American postal clerk and at one point in 1879, was the only one in the city of Richmond, Virginia. Crump also served as a military captain in one of Richmond's militias and served on the city's council for about ten years. He was also an ally of Elizabeth Van Lew, a Virginia abolitionist that also operated a spy ring during the Civil War. ==Biography== Little is concretely known about Crump's early life, although it is known that he was born in Richmond to Johanna and Josiah Crump around 1838. It is also unknown whether he was born enslaved or free, but records have him marked as "free" by 1860, when he was living in Richmond with his mother and her new husband, James Robinson. Crump was employed for a time hauling freight until 1871, when he began working with the postal system.〔 On December 19, 1883 he married Fernella Meriweather, with whom he had three children. In his later life Crump opened a grocery store. He died in his home on February 15, 1890 of pyaemia. His funeral was extremely well attended and Crump's desk and chair at the council building were draped in black as a memorial.
