DIED--At his residence two miles South of Lincoln, in Benton Co., Mo., on Sunday, April 4th, 1880, Mr. Thomas Crum in the 69th year of his age. Mr. Crum was born in Bedford Co., Va., July 22d, 1811; removed to Kentucky in early life and was married in Greenup Co., that State, to Miss Wilmoth Ann Dixon, a sister of W. D. Dixon, of this city [Windsor, Mo.]. Came to Missouri in the Spring of '58 and the Fall of the same year purchased the place he was living on at the time of his death and has lived there since. His first wife died on Aut. 14th 1864, and he was married the second time in 64 to Mrs. Ann Sands, who survives him. He had 9 children by his first wife, 7 of which are now living. Mrs. Wm. and Calvin Crum are two of these. By his second wife he had 4 children, all now living. He had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for forty years.
The funeral sermon was preached by Eld. Wm. Gray at the residence of the deceased, after which the remains were interred in the burying ground at old Mt. Pleasant Church. Services were conducted by the Masonic order, of which he had been a member for thirty years.
Mr. Crum was an honest, upright man, highly respected by all his neighbors. Having almost reach the allotted three score and ten years, he has bowed like the ripened sheaf to the sickle of Death and the angel gleaners in the harvest of life have borne his immortal soul to the beautiful store house of Heaven, and in that "land of rest from sorrow free" he is waiting to welcome the loved ones whom he left on earth. What could be more appropriate in this connection that the language of the Evangelist: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
