Paul B. Crandall, son of Welcome B. and Emily Dowse Crandall, was born in Brookfield, N. Y., November 15, 1845, and died at his home in Walworth, Wis., August 21, 1921, of acute indigestion. He was the youngest of five brothers born to Welcome B. and Emily Dowse Crandall. He came west with his parents at the age of 10 years.
Three brothers preceded him in death, Roswell A., Charles W. and John, having died several years ago. His home since coming west has always been in Walworth. He enlisted when merely a boy, in the 100 day service of the Civil War. He was married to Miss Addie Colburn of Walworth, September 17, 1870. One son was born to this union. They celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary last September.
He was converted and baptized in the spring of 1877 and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Walworth, of which he has been a faithful member up to the time of his departure. He will be greatly missed in his home, in the church and community. He is survived by his wife, son Arthur L., of Highland Park, Ill.; three grandchildren and one great-grandchild; also one brother, William C. Crandall of Boulder, Colo., who was too feeble to be present at the funeral. He also leaves many nephews, nieces and friends who will miss him.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the home. Burial was in Walworth Cemetery. G. D. H.
