In Walworth, Wis., Feb. 3, 1889, Welcome B. Crandall, followed just sixty hours later by his wife, Emily L. Dowse. They were born in Madison county, N. Y., he on March 28, 1811, and she on Dec. 31, 1810. They were married Aug. 26, 1830, and thereafter lived in Brookfield, DeRuyter, and Lincklaen, N. Y., until 1856, when they came to Walworth, Wis., where they spent the remainder of their lives. Brother Crandall embraced religion early in life; but Sister Crandall did not until some time after their marriage. Not living at that time in the vicinity of any Seventh-day Baptist Church, they united with a First-day Baptist Church, being allowed to do so and keep the Sabbath. Subsequently moving into the vicinity of Second Brookfield, they united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place, of which Sister Crandall remained a member until her death. Bro. Crandall had his membership transferred to the church at Walworth, where it was retained until transferred to the church triumphant. The 'one more river' they have crossed, to dwell in the 'summer land' beyond. S. H. B.
