pie of this community were sad
dened when word was received
that T. c. Crenshaw was dead
that he had died very suddenly
on a Union Pacific train, COM
ing into Kansas City. Mr.. Cren-
shaw boarded the train at To-
peka, Kansas, Friday after
noon, He soon fell asleep with a
newspaper over his face When
the train had but a few minutes
to make the Union station the
conductor, thinking he was
asleep, spoke to him. He did
not awaken. The conductor then
shook him. This did not arouse
him. The paper fell from his
face and ON closer scrutiny the
conductor discovered that he
was dead. The body was remov-
ed from the train in Kansas
City, Kansas, where an autopsy
was performed. He had died
from heart disease.

in this city. About thirty-fiye
years ago he went with the AS
kew Saddlery Company of Kan
City as travelling salesman and
had been with this company ever
since.
Mr.. ,Crenshaw was one OF
Gods noblemen. His quiet and
unobtrusive manner, was the
key of consistent conscieD-
tious Christian life. Earnest
and thoughtful in the
every day affairs; living
rather than proclaiming vir.

to every trust imposed in him
were a few of the things which
riveted friendship once formed

member of the Methodist chdrcf
and the Masonic Lodge Of
this city. His memory viii
ever be cherished, not only by his
family, but by everybody. Th'
grief, though now fresh, can only
be assnaged by the fact that hi
life was consecrated to his Mas
