Ever Busy Death.
Mrs. Margaret E. Crittenden, wife
of Mr.. H. w. Crittenden, died at her
residence near Ripon on Friday last,
in the sixty.second year Of her age,
from the effects of paralysis. Mrs.
Crittenden was raised in Michigan.
She and her husband came to Jetier-
son county in the spring of 1866.
Here they reared three children, two
of whom survive her-Miss Nellie and
Mr.. Edgar V. Crittenden. No wife
or mother could have performed the
duties incumbent upon them with
greater faithfulness and devotion, and
in turn she was ever made happy by
the love and attention of the members
of her family. Her disposition was
sunny and bright, so that she made
many friends, and her open, frank
character held them fast. She was
the light and life Of social circles IN
her neighborhood and loved by all her
neighbors. She was member of the
Presbyterian church, and loved it,
but not without charity towards 9TH
ers, and was always ready to work
with others in doing good. Funeral
services were held in the Presbyterian
church in this place Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. DR.. A. G. Hopkins,
after which the remains were inferred
in Edge-Hill Cemetery.-CharIeS
