Purcell was a noted publisher who owned properties in Hong Kong, Yokohama and Calcutta. He was listed as a shareholder of HSBC in 1914. Purcell was a fast runner; he ran 120 yards in 12 seconds[1] at an athletic meeting held in Hong Kong in April 1893. [Ran at the same meeting was David Landale, who would later become Taipan of Jardine, Matheson & Co. He finished 100 yards in 10 seconds.]

[1] Their records convert to 10.936 seconds / 100 meters. The world record for 100 meters sprint in 1893 was set by Belgium Etienne De Re at 10.8. Could Purcell and Landale be that fast?

Crapnell was employed by Land Crawford & Co. as a book-keeper from 1906 and in the same capacity by the stocks brokerage firm, Moxon & Taylor, from 1912 to 1917 (and probably to a later year). A Camellia found by Crapnell's good friend and fellow botanist, W.J. Tutcher, also of Zetland 525, from Mount Parker 柏架山 in April 1903 was named Camellia Crapnelliana 紅皮糙果茶 (or 克氏茶) in Crapnell's honor. Crapnell was a member of the Wigwam Tennis Club; he won a club trophy (a silver goblet in Chinese design) in 1908. #161, The Peak was listed as Crapnell's address in 1919. Crapnell was married with at least one child.
