Obituary of Mrs. A.T. Crosby.
Alice Gray Jennison Crosby was born in Fairfield, Iowa, November 17, 1844, and died at her home in Central City, Iowa, February 18, 1904, aged 59 years, 3 months and one day. She was united in marriage to Asa T. Crosby, March 30, 1864, at the home of her father, Rev. G.H. Jennison, Marion, Iowa. They immediately went to their home on the farm three miles south of Central City, where they resided thirty-six years, when they moved to their recent home in the town. This union was blessed by the advent of five children, Blanch, Asa H., George M., and Ellen A., all of whom survive their mother save Adaline, who died at the age of fourteen.
Mrs. Crosby was converted and joined the M.E. church in her youth, at Marion, Iowa, where she remained a member till her marriage, when her membership was transferred to Central City.
Mrs. Crosby was a home maker. She loved things lovely, of good taste, and of good report. No labor or trouble, that would add to the comfort of her home was either labor or trouble to her. Her life was bound up in her children. Ambitious herself, she was very ambitious for their well-doing and well-being. All the little arts and sciences that made home attractive and reclined were her delight.
The deceased was a friend maker. She never forgot the old for the new, nor neglected the new for the old. Her acquaintance was very wide. She met all with a wealth of cordiality that put all at their ease at once.
Mrs. Crosby was a public spirited woman. She wanted her community to be as self-respecting and as respectable as any other, and she helped to make it so by her silent influence, as well as by her spoken word.
She was deeply concerned for the church. To have the church run down in members grieved her to the heart. When people were being saved and the church was being well supported, receiving the sympathy and money for its needs, she was well pleased. She could be relied on to bring such conditions to pass. This was, of course, before infirmities had laid her aside. Even then her interest was the same.
She was bred and born in a Methodist preacher's home, and was always true to that training. In her could her husband safely confide, and thro' her be much honored. She lived with the fewest things to regret, and the most to commend. Truly a gentle, faithful, earnest christian mother has gone, and we are all the poorer for the passing.
