SALISBURY EVENING POST (Salisbury, North Carolina) * Wednesday, August 7, 1911 *

John M.(sic) Cruse Expires in Danville - Was Prominent Citizen

The Danville Bee of yesterday afternoon has the following account of death of one of that city's prominent men, a native of Rowan county: The death occurred last night at 7 o'clock of Mr. John Lillington Cruse, at his home on South Main street, after an illness of some eighteen months duration which, however, became critical only ten days ago.

The deceased was a popular and prominent citizen of Danville, having lived here for the past twenty-five years.

Mr. Cruse died in the fifty-seventh year of his age. He was born and raised in Rowan county, North Carolina and during his early manhood he moved to Danville, where he engaged in business. He was married three times, frst(sp) to Miss Beaver, of Rowan county, by whom he had a daughter, Mrs. N.B. Oliver of Gray street, who survives him; his second wife was Fannie Ferguson, by whom he had a son, Frank Eugene Cruse, of this city, who survives him, and his last wife was Miss Nannie M. Lindsey, also survived him with one child, John Martin Cruse, of this city. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. R.J. Kluttz, of Concord, N. C., and two half sisters, Mrs. Norton, of Tennessee, and Miss Ella Burks, of Lincoln, Ill.
Mr. Cruse was a member of the Lutheran church, but his membership at the old home church in North Carolina had never been moved. He was a prominent Elk and was a member of the local order.
The funeral services will be conducted from the residence tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock by the Rev. J. Cleveland Hall, Rector of the Church of the Epiphany, assisted by Dr. J.E. Hicks, pastor of the First Baptist church. Interment in Green Hill cemetery.
