----
Elder John Crumrine was born in the state of Virginia, in 1799, and moved to Ohio with his parents in childhood. He lived in Montgomery and Darke counties. When quite young, he became a member of the Brethren Church, and was soon after called to the ministry. On the 13th of May he was united in wedlock with Catherine Brenner. To them were born eight children, six of whom joined the church, and two of them were elected to the ministry. The labors of our departed brother extended over a large territory in Ohio, and he was zealous in the cause of the Master. Often he traveled on horseback forty and fifty miles a day, to fill an appointment. With saddle-bags strapped to his horse, containing bread and butter for his own meals, in one end, and feed for his horse in the other, he would travel till noon, then stop by the wayside, feed his horse, eat his lunch, and then continue his long ride. This might be called old-fashioned missionary work, and shows the earnestness of our old brethren.
He moved to Indiana, and settled in Wabash county. Here he was ordained an elder and was given charge of the Wabash church. Here he spent the closing days of a long and and useful life. He was always found at his post, when able, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy. He was a wise counselor, a faithful minister, and a kind and loving father. He died Nov. 23, having nearly reached the age of eighty- six. Thus ended the life of our beloved elder. We are left with the hope that our loss is his eternal gain. Funeral services by brother R. H. Miller and David Neff, from 2 Tim. 4: 6-8.

John Crumrine, b. 15 Jan. 1799 in Pa. or Va., d. 23 Nov. l884. 30 May 1819, Catherine Brenner, b. 25 July in Va., d. 2 Sept. 1873 Montgomery Co., O. marriage records reveal the date of their marriage. Dr. Ira S.J. Crumrine (#289) said that John had but 25¢ then and he borrowed the coat he wore when married. He was a blacksmith by trade and also farmed. He owned a quarter section of land of what is now Union City, Ind. according to Beers "History of Darke Co., p.395. He is listed in 1850 census in Jackson Twp., Darke Co. O. with the four youngest children. He moved to Wabash Co., Ind. in Nov. 1852. They settled 3/4 mile above the town of Somerset on the Mississinewa River where he built a grist mill and sawmill. This mill later was destroyed by fire. The old Somerset and area is under water since the completion of the Peoria Conservancy Dam in the mid 1960's. Before his death, John was the owner of some 1100 acres of land. John Crumrine was an Ordained Elder in the German Baptist Church — now the Church of the Brethren. He became a member of the church in l824, reports the "History of the Church of the Brethren in Southern Ohio,1708-1920”. This same source says he was elected to the ministry in 1825, or possibly 1833. Beers, "History of Darke Co., O., p.441, indicates he was the second preacher of the German Baptist church in Washington Twp. He and his wife were among the charter members of the Greenville Creek Church - the original Union City Church, located two miles north of Union City, Ind. After moving to Wabash Co., Ind., he became the first Elder of the Wabash Country Church of the Brethren which was organized in l859. The "History of the Church of the Brethren in Indiana" published in 1952, gives some of this information also. He remained Elder of the Wabash Country Church until his death. John and Catherine are buried in the Mt. Vernon cemetery, Wabash Co.,Indiana. Their children were all born in Darke Co., O. Barbara, Sally, Cornelius, Sophia, Christena, Isaac, Noah, Jacob, Elizabeth
