Y., August 23, 1802, in early life she removed to Brookfield, Madison county, where she was united by marriage to Ethan P. Crandall, Jan. 1, 1820, the ceremony being performed by Eld. Daniel Coon. Soon after marriage, she was happily converted to God, and has ever since lived a useful consistent and devoted Christian life. She and her husband were both baptized on the same day, by Eld. Coon.

Her husband, for many years a deacon in the church, died Dec. 31, 1877. Funeral services were held on Fifth-day, March 13th, conducted by the pastor; text, Psa. 90: 12, 'So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.' J. E. N. B.
