In 1895 he took up his residence in Los Angeles where he again engaged in newspaper work and later in the real estate business. Up to the time of his death, April 22, 1918, he was engaged in this business.

Mr. McCrimmon leaves a widow, Mrs. Emma McCrimmon, to whom he was married in 1884, and who resides at Los Angeles.

At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War Mr. McCrimmon tendered his services to the United States.
