Matilda Fogg, daughter of Isaac S. and Susan Ayers Fogg, was born in Shiloh, N. J., June 6, 1875., and died at Bethesda Hospital, North Hornell, N. Y., November 25, 1961.
She received her education at Shiloh Academy and Alfred University. On April 12, 1900, she was married to Benjamin R. Crandall, principal of schools at Hammond, La. They made their home successively in Hammond, Rawlins, Wyo., Idaho Falls, Idaho, and for twenty-four years at several places in California. Their son, Dr. Burton B. Crandall, of Fayetteville, N. Y., was born at Rawlins.
Mrs. Crandall, always busy in church, club, social, and PTA work, placed her home first. She and Dr. Ben made a home for four girls at different times. When prevented from being active in a Seventh Day Baptist church, they took their places in a church of the community in which they lived, at the same time retaining their membership in their home church. In 1939, upon coming to Alfred to live, they brought their letters from the Riverside Seventh Day Baptist Church and united with the Alfred church, in which they have been faithful.
She is survived by her husband, her son, and four grandchildren. Memorial services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. Hurley S. Warren, and the Rev. Albert N. Rogers, at the Alfred church. Interment was in Alfred Rural Cemetery. H. S. W.
