TOWN DIX..
HENRY CRONK: OBIT-HE LIVED MOST OF HIS LIFE IN CENTRAL SCHUYLER CO. NY.
ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE FALLS.
LATER ABOUT THE YEAR 1862 AFTER WORKING VARIOUS FARMS IN CENTRAL SCHUYLER CO. NY, MEADS HILL, AND NEAR WEDGEWOOD HE BOUGHT THE MILLS FARM ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE FALLS, WHICH WAS THEN ALMOST WHOLLY COVERED BY VALUABLE TIMBER WHICH HE HAD CUT AND FOR WHICH HE RECEIVED THE HIGH PRICES PREVAILING DURING THE CIVIL WAR, WHICH ENABLED HIM BY HARD WORK AND GOOD BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TO PAY FOR HIS FARM. AS THE YEARS PASSED HE CONTINUED TO CLEAR AND IMPROVE HIS LAND UNTIL IT BECAME ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST PRODUCTIVE FARMS OF SCHUYLER OR ADJOINING COUNTIES.
NORTH OF THE ROAD RUNNING FROM THE FALLS TO BEAVER DAMS, AND BETWEEN HIS FARM AND THERE ROAD NOW KNOWN AS THE CORNING OR WATKINS ROAD, AND MAKING A FARM OF MORE THAN 100 ACRES OF FERTILE, PRODUCTIVE LAND, WELL WATERED BY SPRINGS AND THE CREEK KNOWN AS FALLS CREEK.
IN ALL DEALINGS WITH THOSE WITH WHOM HE DEALT. HE WAS A KIND NEIGHBOR, AND MANY WERE THE ACTS OF KINDNESS PERFORMED BY HIM DURING ALL HIS LIFE, GIVING EMPLOYMENT AND AID TO THOSE IN NEED OF SUCH. ABOUT THE YEAR 1876 HE JOINED THE ME. CHURCH AT MONTOUR FALLS, THEN HAVANA, AND ASSISTED IN ITS ATTENDANCE AND SUPPORT. HE NEVER ASPIRED TO POLITICAL HONORS, BUT WAS CONTENT TO PERFORM HIS DUTIES AS AN ELECTOR AND UPRIGHT CITIZEN.
DURING HIS LATER YEARS WHEN FAILING STRENGTH OF BODY AND LIMB PREVENTED HIM FROM PERFORMING THE FULL MANUAL LABORS OF THE FARM, HE PERSISTED IN RIDING THE MOWER, RAKE, REAPER AN SHARROW, AND IN PERFORMING SUCH LABOR AND CHORES AS RHEUMATIC AND OTHER AILMENTS WOULD PERMIT. THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN SEEN HIM RAPIDLY FAIL IN ABILITY TO WALK AND MOVE AROUND, AND A FEW WEEKS AGO HE RECEIVED A SERIOUS FALL FROM THE MOWING MACHINE. SATURDAY, SEPT. 25TH, IN SOME UNEXPLAINED MANNER HE FELL IN HIS ROOM AND SUSTAINED WHAT THE PHYSICIANS STATED WAS A FRACTURED LIMB. ALMOST CONTINUALLY FROM THE TIME UNTIL MONDAY, OCT 4, HE SUFFERED INTENSED AGONY, WHEN IN SPITE OF ERNEST EFFORTS TO RELIEVE OR CURE HIM DEATH CAME AND HIS SUFFERING ENDED.
The subject of this sketch was born in the town of covert, Seneca county, Aug. 11, 1824, and died at his home in Dix, Schuyler county, October 4, 1909, aged 85 years, 1 month and 28 days.
He was one of eleven children born to Arnold and Mary Howell Cronk, and his early life was passed principally in central Schuyler county.
About the year 1846, he married Miss Melissa Wakeley, daughter of Roswell and Sally Wakeley, who owned the farm now owned by James and Joseph Lawlis, about one mile southwest of Montour Falls. For some time he lived near where Wm. Bennett now lives, about one and a half miles southwest of the Falls.
Later about the year 1862, after working various farms in central Schuyler , Mead's Hill, and near Wedgwood, he bought the Mill's farm about two and a half miles southwest of the Falls, which was then almost wholly covered by valuable timber, which he had cut and for which he received the high prices prevailing during the Civil War, which enabled him by hard work and good business management to pay for his farm. As the years passed he continued to clear and improve his land until it became one of the best and most productive farms of Schuyler or adjoining counties.
In later years with the help of his son Dewitt, (who with his wife, nee Anna Austin, has been his main stay for many years) he still continued and later bought that part of another farm belonging to Mr. Mills, lying north of the road running from the Falls to Beaver Dams, and between his farm and the road now known as the Corning or Watkins road, and making a farm of more than 100 acres of fertile, productive land, well watered by springs and the creek known as Falls creek.
Mr. Cronk was always a hard working man, spending a share of his life in lumbering and threshing, and was strictly honest and upright in all his dealings...He was a kind neighbor, and many were the acts of kindness performed by him during all his life, giving employment and aid to those in need of such.
About the year 1876 he joined the M.E. Church at Montour Falls, then Havana, and assisted in its attendance and support. He never aspired to political honors, but was content to perform his duties as an elector and upright citizen.
During his later years when failing strength of body and limb prevented him from performing the full manual labors of the farm, he persisted in riding the mower, rake, reaper and harrow, and in performing such labor and chores as rheumatic and other ailments would permit. The past year has seen him rapidly fail in ability to walk and move around, and a few weeks ago he received a serious fall from a mowing machine.
Saturday, Sept. 25th, in some unexplained manner he fell in his room and sustained what the physicians stated was a fractured limb. Almost continually from that time until Monday, Oct. 4, he suffered intense agony, when in spite of earnest efforts to relieve or cure him, death came and his sufferings ended.
To the writer and others he had said that it mattered little whether he recovered or not. That he had a home above when called to go and was prepared to go or stay as seemed best. He was able till the later hours to recognize those around him, and almost at the last recognized and spoke the name of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dewitt Cronk.
He leaves his widow, Melissa Cronk, now 83 years of age, and among others a son Dewitt Cronk of Watkin, NY Two daughter Sarah, who married Washington A. Crout of Beaver Dams, and Jeanette who married Warren Lanning of Enfield, Tompkins County.
Two sisters, Mrs. Mary Smith of Binghamton, NY and Mrs. Kate Crane of Montour Falls; also six brothers--John of Osborne, Kansas; Mulford of Hornell, NY; Albert of Montour Falls; William of Montour Falls, NY; Nelson of New Market, NJ; and Warren of Horseheads, NY.
Mr. Cronk was esteemed and respected by all, as was evidenced by the large assemblage gathered at the home Thursday, Oct. 7, to pay their last respects to the departed, and by the beautiful floral offerings.
The sermon by Rev. Mr. Proseus of the M.E. Church, Montour Falls, was somewhat out of the ordinary and was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by those who heard it.
The family desires the writer to express their thanks and appreciation to all who in any way aided or offered during the sufferings, and following the death of the husband and father, especially to Mrs. Mary Ganung, who aided him during all the sad time, and to the Ladies' Aid of Wedgwood, and others for their floral offerings; also to the members of the choir for appropriate selections.

11. JONATHON CRONK (ARNOLD, JOHN, JAMES, HIRAM, HARCK SYBOUTS) was born June 19, 1826 in HECTOR, SCHUYLER CO, and died July 30, 1906. He married JANE GRIFFITH November 30, 1855 in HAVANA TOWN DIX NY. She was born June 19, 1836 in NEAR WILLIAMSPORT PA, and died January 11, 1916 in MONTOUR FALLS.
Mrs. Jane Griffith Cronk wife of the late Johnathon Cronk was born near Williamsport Pa. June 19, 1836.and passed to her eternal reward Tuesday, Jan 11, 1916. She was married to Jonathan Cronk on Nov 30 1855 and had lived in Montour Falls for 60 years. About 3 years ago she was suddenly stricken with paralysis which left her in a semi-helpless condition. About two weeks ago she contracted a severe cold which developed into pneumonia and which was the direct cause of her death.
Mrs Cronk was a member of The Methodist Episcopal church of lifelong standing and it was a source of a great deal of sorrow to her during the past three years that she was no longer able to take an active part in the work of The church she loved so dearly. Aside from that we have never heard her complain in the least degree. She always remained so cherry and patient that it was an inspiration to drop in to her home for a little while. A sweeter more beautiful Christian character would be hard to find.
She is survived by one son William A Cronk of Addison NY.The funeral services will be held at The house on Thursday January 13, at 10 o'clock. Rev. WP Miller pastor of the ME Church will officiate.

Mr Cronk was induced to set for a photograph. He hadn't had one taken in Forty years, but he was very fond of his children and would have done anything for them. Knowing this, Mr. carrier the junior member of the firm let his daughter, Mrs. T.P.Elmore into the secret, vis: that it was the desire of The company to place a picture of Mr. Cronk in the new catalogue of the firm of 1908. Acting upon this Mrs. Elmore induced him to go to Watkins with her one day, and while there she suggested a photograph and the two went to a photographer and before he fully realized it a film negative was obtained. A few days after the catalogue was issued from the press and Mr. Carrier brought several copies down from Elmira and told Mr. Cronk and his two sons Elmer and Edwin that he desired a meeting of directors at once. The quartet met in the office and Mr. Cronk was handed a copy of The catalogue which Mr. Carrier said he had published on his own responsibility and asked that his actions be approved by the other members. Mr. Cronk looked it over page by page, approving of its content. When he came to the last page up popped his photo appeared. He fumbled. To say that he was surprised is expressing it mildly. he was dub founded for a minute, tears came in his eyes. His heart was in his mouth and he could not speak. finally he rallied and said. "Boys, if I had known that you were do this, Grace would never got me in that gallery, but not that it is done and without my knowledge, I want to say to you that I felt Highly complimented and wish to thank you for the honor shown me." The catalogue contained 54 pages, printed on fine cream book paper, handsomely bounded and contained cuts of all the useful tools manufactured by the company.
