Cora May Crandall, a daughter of Roswell A. and Juliette Crandall, was born in Walworth, Wis., June 4, 1860 and entered into her eternal rest July 21, 1913. Mrs. Crandall's father had passed to the life beyond but a short time before, and her death was the first break in the family circle of four sisters and two brothers, Mrs. F. O. Burdick of Boulder, Colo.; Mrs. E. O. Crandall, Mrs. G. E. Coon, Mr. John Crandall of Milton Junction; Mr. Sherman L. Crandall of Brodhead, Wis.
On April 18, 1881 she was united in marriage to Orville G. Crandall at Utica, Wis. Into this home were born two children, Eldon D. and Jennie. Besides a sorrowing husband and children, the deceased leaves an aged mother, the three sisters and two brothers, and a large circle of friends to mourn the loss of a devoted wife, an affectionate mother, a loving sister and a good neighbor.
Mrs. Crandall came into a real christian experience early in life. When twelve years of age she accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized by her pastor, Elder James Bailey, into the fellowship of the Walworth, Wis., S. D. B. church. Afterwards when she came to Utica she united with the church at that place. Twenty-two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Crandall removed to Milton Junction and became members of the church in whose fellowship she remained up to the time of her death.
Mrs. Crandall's christian belief expressed itself in works. Though for some time she had been prevented by failing health from active participation in the work and worship of the church she loved, yet her interest continued unabated. For several years she was president of the Ladies Aid society and was actively interested in the Sabbath school. The church has lost a good friend, a zealous worker, a faithful member. She was also an honored member of the local camp of Royal Neighbors whowere present at the funeral in a body to pay their last respects.
Services of farewell were held at her late home Wednesday afternoon, July 23, 1913, conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. N. Jordan, assisted by Rev. L. C. Randolph of Milton, an old childhood friend. Her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Milton Junction.
