Parents: James Wesley Crain & Amanda Elizabeth Stribling

COMMENT: Eunice was the fifth and youngest child of James Wesley "Jim" and Amanda Elizabeth Stribling Crain. She was the first person buried in this cemetery. Jim and Amanda were married 23 Oct., 1895, the Coryell Church Community of Coryell County, Bk. 5., p. 309 of Coryell County Marriage Records. In Sept. 2000, Eunice's tombstone was removed from the west portion of the Blue Ridge Cemetery and moved to the Stribling Family plot in the northwest corner of the IOOF Cemetery in Hamilton, beside the stone of her older sister, Ruby Pearl Crain. Eunice's remains were not relocated.

Tradition attributed the cause of Eunice's death as yellow jaundice, however, her death certificate identified the cause of her death as "auto intoxication." Contributing causes: Caterrh of Gevl Cyst and Ducts."

Elreeta Crain Weather's theory is that Eunice was born without bile ducts from her liver, a condition known as biliary artesia. Prior to her death Eunice's moods were highly agitated and it would take the entire family to try to placate her and to ease her pain. A cousin, Mary Ruth (Stribling) (Pruitt) Newsom recalled that Eunice's illness was of short duration and other children in the community had similar illnesses resulting in their deaths.
