Elder George W Cripe, though identified with Southern Illinois in later years, spent the most active part of his life in Indiana. He was born in Darke County, Ohio, May 23, 1833.
He was raised in Elkhart County, Indiana, and united with the Church of the Brethren in the Solomon's Creek congregation. Here he was called to the ministry in 1866. Shortly after this he moved to the Washington church, near Warsaw, and still later into the Fairview, Southern Indiana.
Elder Cripe's great work for Indiana was that of an evangelist. He was one of the first brethren to engage actively in protracted meetings. He had great power through the Spirit to do this work. Scores were brought into the church through his stirring appeals. While in Southern Indiana he was one of the missionaries in their great field.
On Christmas Day, 1852, he was united in marriage to Barbara Shively, of Elkhart County. To them were born twelve children. One daughter, Cora, was for years a mission worker in Chicago, and is now in China, the wife and helpmeet of Dr O G Brubaker, of Liao Chou.
Brother Cripe was a man of strong physical build, but constant heavy strain on his physical system brought his life to a close July 22, 1901. His last years were spent at Cerro Cordo, Illinois.
