JUDGE CROSBY
 PASSES FROM LIFE
tContributed)

Thompson.-Thel life work of Judge George s. Crosby is ended. With his wife and daughter at his bedside he quietly breathed his last Friday eve ming, November 2sth.
 Although in failing health the past year. not until Thursday the 20th, did Judge Crosby take to his bed. His physicians decided that an operation was the only chance of prolonging his life and accordingly MT Crosby was taken to the Day kimball hospital. He rallied from the operation and seemed better, but his depleted strength was not equal to the strain.
 George Stephen Crosby was born February IT, lS44, in the house now owned by Miss Lewis in Thompson. He was the son of Stephen and Susan Mason Larned Crosby. Stephen Cros- Crosby. who bought land on each side of the French river, near the present site of Grosvenor-Dale, in 1T21. Ma thaniefs son. Capt. Stephen of Revo- lutionary fame. was the only one of large family who married, and from him all the Thompson Croshys are de- scended.
 Susan Mason Larned traced her an- eestry to William Larned, who settled in Killingly in TIP Thus Mir. Cros- by descended from old Thompson pioneers. These two names so famil- far in Thompson for the last two hum dred years are almost extinct. Mrs. Crosby, herself a descendant of Capt. Stephen. and her daughter, Mrs. Sar- ah, are now the only representatives of the Crosby name, although there are two score or more of Capt. Steph- ems descendants residents in this vi- einity. The Larned name in Thomp- son became extinct with the death of Miss Ellen D. Larned in 19l2.
 Mir. Crosby was educated in the va rious schools of his native village and at the age of twenty-one was taken into partnership with his father, and they together built up large and sue cessful hotel business. In 1886 after his fathers death, Mir. Crosby sold the hotel and acquired land from his un- cle, Judge Talcott Crosby's estate, and
 Judge Crosby has always taken built the present home.
 quite an active interest in public af- fairs. He was a Democrat, but not zealously partisan. In 1902 he was elected Judge of Probate and held that office until the expiration of the age limit He was assessor for one year. a director in the Thompson Ma tional Bank, and an incorporator in the Thompson Dime Savings Bank. Mir. Crosby was made a deacon in the Thompson Congregational church in 1892.
 On October 29th, 1879, George Stephen Crosby married Mary Bailey Jacobs, daughter of Joseph D. and Sarah Carroll Jacobs of Thompson. They had two children, Sarah Carroll, who survives her father, and Mary Larned, who died in infancy.
 Mir. Crosby after long life of ir- integrity, uprightness and devotion to duty, of honorable service in the village and helpfulness in all matters pertaining to the town md church, has passed from among us an example such as few at ain.
