Miss Calla Crumrin, who died in the city of Marshall, on the 8th day of July, A. D. 1882, was born in this county on March 10, 1860. She had acquired a fair education by her own zeal and energies. She was a popular and successful teacher when death came with his sharp scythe to cut short her usefulness for the future in this life. How strange and incomprehensible are the plans of Providence! Others, who have no aspirations for good or usefulness in life, live on and on to extreme old age and die unhonored and unwept, while in Call's death a bright and useful life was prematurely brought to a close.
In her death, many hearts are made sad; more than one home has been made to feel the rod, more than one heart has been broken; more than one will plant immortelles on her tombs and think of the loved ones gone. She had many friends because her heart was true and her motives pure. "Blessed are the pure in hear, for they shall see God."
