Mrs. Amos T, Crowl peacefully
breathed her last at II rs O'Clock Thurs
day night June 5th. She had slept all
day, with her family and loving friends
watching by her side.
1t was about the middle of May that
Mrs. Crowl had a bad day and her
relatives were summoned. She rallied
and was able to visit with her bre1hers
and friends who came from distance.
Abe Currie, from California, was the
last to arrive. At no time during the
last three weeks did she have any pain,
and it is a great comfort to her family
to know that she IVES prepared for the
hereafter and passed away so calmly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crowl and Miss Crowl
went to southern California early in
the fall where they spent two or three
months at their fruit ranch before it
was found necessary to take Mrs. Czowl
to Rochester with all possible speed.
STE stood the operation on February 3rd
with almost super-human strength, re-
turning to her Dickinson home early in
April. For a time Mrs. Crowl seemed
to improve and :was able to be out OF
doors a little. However, it had been
realized tnat the operation could only
prolong life fora time and this respite
was not SO lon9xas had been hoped and
expected.
