John P Crins, one of the oldest settlers of Thurston county, died suddenly at his home at South Union yesterday afternoon of heart disease. At noon he was feeling perfectly sound and ate with the family as usual. Shortly after he began to complain of a pain in his stomach and about 3 o'clock decided to go to bed. His wife helped him to remove his shoes, he having but one arm and therefore at a disadvantage, and he retired. Mrs. Crins left him for a few moments apparently sleeping, and returning shortly after, discovered that he was dead.
Mr. Crins had reached the ripe age of 72 years. He came around the Horn in a sailing vessel in the early 50s. For many years he worked at the painter's trade in Olympia, but for the last ten years has lived on his ranch at South Union. He was originally from Providence, Rhode Island, and has a brother who is now president of the Gorham Manufacturing company of that city. This is the only blood relation living with the exception of his son John who resides at South Union.
He leaves a wife and three step children, Mrs. I. W. Agnew of this city and George and Ed. Diamond of South Union.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow and will be conducted by Dr. Lamont. The procession will leave the residence at South Union at 11 o'clock and the services at the grave will take place at 2 o'clock p.m. Interment will be in the Masonic cemetery.
