A bereaved husband, three sons, and stepchildren are left to mourn their great and irreparable loss. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was largely attended by many sincere mourners. Interment at Dawdy’s, Pelham. Services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Emory of the Methodist church, of which body Mrs. Crow had been a loyal and devoted member for over forty years. Her life was a peculiarly loving and lovable one, her end was sweet peace, and her memory will long remain green and fragrant in the minds of all who enjoyed her companionship.
