In the town of Genesee, Allegany Co., N. Y., September 1874, Matthew M. Crandall, in the 87th year of his age.
Brother Crandall was one of the earliest settlers of this town. He was noted for his industry, his adherence to truth, honesty and uprightness in all the relations of life. He experienced religion in early manhood, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church. He was one of the constituent members of the 2d Genesee Church, and remained with it until the little band was broken up. Two years ago he united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Portville, of which he was one of the most faithful and worthy members until he was called to his reward. His work being done, his death was peaceful and triumphant. J. L. H.
