- Mrs. Harry B. CRANDALL, Milton, died suddenly Sunday
morning while being
- taken to Mercy hospital for treatment after a severe heart
attack suffered early in the morning.
- Mary Frances CARLISLE was born Feb. 10, 1874, at Farina,
Ill., one of the four
- daughters of Simon J. and Sarah LANGWORTHY CARLISLE.
She spent her girlhood in and near Farina and was educated
in the schools of southern Illinois. She joined the Seventh
Day Baptist church of Farina and later transferred her membership
to the Milton church in which she has been an active and interested
member. She served as church clerk for several years and has
held offices in the Women's circle of the church.

their golden wedding
- anniversary with an open house this summer but Mrs. CRANDALL
had suffered a severe heart attack May 10 and was a patient in
Mercy hospital, Janesville, eight weeks. She made an extremely
slow recovery after returning to her home so the open house was
postponed indefinitely. The anniversary was spent as quietly
as possible in the home, although the news that morning of the
sudden death of Mr. CRANDALL's brother, Wilmer H. CRANDALL,
saddened the day for them. Numerous friends remembered the
date and their living rooms were a veritable garden of flowers
and potted plants. They received 165 greeting cards as well
as many gifts.

so that in recent weeks she
- was able to be up a good part of each day and had even been

Village Improvement club and especially active in the Nature
Study group of that club.
