- Mrs. Elizabeth [Ann] CRANDALL
[nee CHAMPLIN], widow of the late Rev.
- George J. CRANDALL, died on
Tuesday, June 9th, at her home after a brief illness. Mrs.
CRANDALL was for many years an invalid on account of rheumatism
and was lately somewhat more feeble, but the organic trouble
that caused her death was not manifest until a few days ago.
Her husband will be remembered by the most of our readers as
the pastor for some years of the Seventh-day Baptist church in
this village; both he and his wife were endeared to their friends
and respected by the community for their lives of uprightness
and kindliness. Since her husband's death a few years ago,
Mrs. CRANDALL has lived with her daughter, Dr. Grace I.
CRANDALL, who with other children and grandchildren ministered
to her in her last hours.
- Mrs. CRANDALL was born in New
York state in 1839 and was nearly sixty-nine
- years old at the time of her death.
Bereft of her parents in early infancy, she was brought up
in the family of a Mr. and Mrs. MAXSON, in Brookfield,
N.Y. With them she lived till her marriage in 1861. In early
life she united with the Seventh-day Baptist church and has always
been devoted to the interests of that faith. She was educated
in the Brookfield Academy and at De Ruyter Institute. She had
six children, four of whom are living: Mr. Calvin E. CRANDALL
of Milton; Mrs. G. L. HUTCHINS of North Loup, Neb.; Linton
B. CRANDALL of Plainfield, N.J., and Dr. Grace I. CRANDALL
of Milton Junction.
- Funeral services were held at the home
of Dr. Grace CRANDALL at 2 o'clock an
- at the Seventh-day Baptist church at
half past two o'clock, on Thursday, June 11th, conducted by President
Daland of Milton college, and the Rev. Dr. Platts of Milton.
