Mrs. C. E. CRANDALL, instructor in German at Milton college many years, died
Sunday at the home of her brother, Dr. A. E. WHITFORD, Alfred, N.Y. Owing to ill health Mrs. CRANDALL had been forced to give up her work at the college and early in September accompanied the WHITFORDs to their home. Mr. and Mrs. WHITFORD arrived here with the body Wednesday morning.
Funeral services will be held in the Milton Seventh Day Baptist church this Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Carroll L. Hill and Dr. Edwin Shaw will officiate and the choir will sing. Burial will be in Milton cemetery, the pallbearers being members of the college faculty, J. N. DALAND, D. N. INGLIS, C. F. OAKLEY, G. H. WHITFORD, L. C. SHAW and W. D. BURDICK.
Anna Sophia WHITFORD, daughter of [Prof.] Albert and Chloe CURTIS
WHITFORD, was born in Milton, Jan. 1, 1860, and lived here most of her life. On Sept. 5, 1882, she was married to [Prof.] Clark Eugene CRANDALL who died in 1929.
In 1899 she went to Germany where she spent some time preparing to teach German
in Milton college. During her years of work in the college she has been affectionately known as "Frau" CRANDALL.
About a year ago Mrs. CRANDALL was injured when she fell in attempting to get
into an automobile. She had not been well previous to that but the fall incapacitated her for months.
Besides Dr. WHITFORD, she is survived by another brother William WHITFORD
of Independence, Kan. [Thursday edition, p. 1]
