Elizabeth Lilly, daughter of Tubal and Nancy Lilly, was born in Deerfield, Oneida County, N. Y., March 3, 1828.
When quite young she experienced religion and became a member of the old Alfred church. On Nov. 19, 1846, she was married to Maxon Crandall, who survives her. They had six children, four sons and two daughters, just half of whom are living: Silas P., and Mrs. Florine Maxson of North Loup, and George W. Crandall of Austin, Minn. The first four years of their married life they lived in the town of Almond, N. Y. They have since lived in Wisconsin nine years, in Minnesota twenty, where they were constituent members of the Trenton Seventh-day Baptist church, and Mr. Crandall was called to the office of deacon. The last twenty-five years they have lived in North Loup, and have been honored members of this church. Mrs. Crandall had been in poor health with Bright's disease for months, and about a week before her death she sank rapidly to the end, which came at 10 a.m., Jan. 26, 1905. Thus ended a quiet, hopeful, Christian life, and she passed away from us in the triumphs of faith. M. B. K.
