After a long lingering illness death called home the worn and frail body of John Sullivan Cranmore May 19, 1933 at 2:27 P.M. at the home of his son, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Cranmore of Loves Valley. Funeral services were held at Lake View cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. Services were conducted by Rev. Etchinson, pastor of the Loves Valley Church.
The deceased was 82 years old. He was born and reared in Tennessee and while a young man married Miss Myriah Smith, also of that state. A few years later they moved to Texas and settled near Waco, and lived there six or eight years. While still near Waco his dear wife passed to the beyond, at 43 years of age, leaving a family of children, the youngest of which was only three days old, who's name is Charles Edward Cranmore, the only one which was not at the bedside of his father when death came.
Soon after losing his wife, he J.S. Cranmore, and children came to what is, now Oklahoma, then the Indian Territory, and settled in Love County, living here ever since which was a period of about 37 years.
He was known far and wide and had many friends. It was his motto to make friends instead of enemies. For several years he ran a grocery store at Bomar. In his dealings with his friends was always known to say, "Justice and honesty will always gain more than money."
When a young man, fifty or sixty years ago, he joined the Missionary Baptist Church. It was hard for any one to talk on any subject in the Bible but what he could quote the scripture as was laid down in the Book.
He was an interesting person to be with and was fond of
telling stories of pioneer days and the early settlers of Territorial days, also of nature and the long trying days he worked in the mines. But the most interesting part of this brief note was his sickness in bed, his sweet patience, and his kindness to everyone.
Last but not least we want to thank the good people for every thing they did for father in his illness. May God ever bless you for it, bless the ones who spoke to us in our darkest hours of grief and sorrow. Especially do we thank those for their thoughtfulness of the good dinner they furnished on the sad occasion the day of the burial, and also for the flowers. May God ever be at your hand in time of need and sorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Cranmore and relatives.
