EVERETT CRUIKSHANK DIES AT JERSEY CITY HOME
Everett Cruikshank, aged 44, a brother of R.A. and H.B. Cruikshank of this place, passed away Friday about noon at his home in Jersey City. Death came suddenly and unexpectedly, for Mr. Cruikshank had seemed in excellent health just prior to his demise, although he underwent an operation for appendicitis last summer.
The deceased, who was born in Salem, and who lived here up to about 24 years ago, was in the spice business in New York City. For three years up to the time he left Salem he was a clerk in the store of John J. Beattie. He later became very prominently connected with the business in his chosen field, with his brother-in-law, D.P. Cruikshank, of New York, and went around the world twice in the interests of the trade. He visited the island of Java, and on another occasion was in South Africa.
A rather unusual incident occurred in Honolulu on the occasion of the trip around the world made by Abner Robertson of this place. Mr. Robertson, who had not seen Mr. Cruikshank in years, met the latter in that city. The two talked together for a time, but neither knew who the other was. Later Mr. Robertson discovered Mr. Cruikshank's name on the ship's register, but then it was too late to make himself known.
The remains arrived here Saturday night and were taken to the home of the bereaved mother, Mrs. Mary E. Cruikshank, of East Broadway, where the funeral was held Sunday at 1:30 p.m., Rev. D.C. Stewart officiating. The remains were laid tenderly away in Evergreen cemetery. The pallbearers were Fred Toleman, N.A. Baker, C.A. Beattie and William McClarty.
Besides the mother, the deceased leaves to mourn his loss, a widow, formerly a Brooklyn girl; one son, Cornell; the brothers, R.A. and H.B. Cruikshank of this place, and Ernest of Baltimore, Md.; besides a sister, Mrs. D.P. Cruikshank, of Montclair, N.J.
Those from away to attend the funeral were; Mrs. Everett Cruik and son; Mr. and Mrs. D.P. Cruikshank and Mr. and Mrs. Ruloff Kipp of Montclair, N.J., she is a niece of the deceased; Mrs. Theodore Lindley of New York City, also a niece, and D. Phelps Cruikshank, a nephew, of Ottawa, Canada.
Several beautiful floral tributes from the concern for which Mr. Cruikshank worked and from one of the departments, showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held.
