DEATH OF ANOTHER OLD SETTLER
Seth Crippen died at his home on Peoria avenue after a protracted illness, aged seventy three years. He leaves a wife and three daughters, Mrs. Hiram Hetler, of this place, Mrs. L. A. Giddings, Colorado Springs, and Mrs. W. W. Stone, Arcata, California. Mrs. Giddings is here but the latter will not be able to attend the funeral which will take place at the house at half past two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. Crippen was a brother of the late Mrs. Alonzo Mead (FindaGrave #130363549), and therefore uncle to J. C. and Wm. H. Mead, of this city.
Seth Crippen was born in Penfield, N.Y. March 21, 1819, and moved to Dixon in 1856 and resided here fifteen years when he moved to Fruit Port, Michigan where he resided until his return to Dixon four years since. He was a man of unostentacious manners, honest and fair with his fellow men, loved by his family and respected by his neighbors. Our citizens who were not personally acquainted with Mr. Crippen will remember him when we call attention to a man about the city who had a strong resemblance to the late Horace Greeley.(Dixon Evening Telegraph, Dixon, IL., Sat., May 14, 1892, pg.1)
+++++++++++++++++++++
Mrs. L. A. Giddings and Mrs. Hiram Hetler wish to thank their friends and neighbors for their sympathy and assistance during the sickness and death of their mother.
