G. M. Croushorn Passes Away At Oswego Home
George M. Croushorn, 79, Passed Away at His Home in Oswego, Saturday, July 7
Oswego-- George M. Croushorn, age 79, one of the best-known men of Kendall county, died early Saturday morning, July 7, 1933. Although his health had failed during the last year he retired Friday evening apparently as well as usual but awakened in a better land with his Savior whom he loved and trusted.
Mr. Croushorn had been in business in Oswego for more than thirty-five years, first conducting a furniture store and later and undertaking establishment and a few years ago he converted the old Hebert stone residence into a funeral home and with his son-in-law, Jake Thorsen of Leland conducted the Croushorn & Thorsen Funeral Home.
Mr. Croushorn's creed was to do a kindness to others whenever the opportunity offered and for his kind deeds and kindly words he will long be remembered.
Three children survive him; Mrs. Susie Roswell of Centralia, Washington; Mrs. Myrtle Thorsen, of Leland, Illinois; and J. R. Croushorn of Aurora; seven grandchildren, George and Mary Roswell, Virginia and Jack Thorsen and Herbert, Warren and Margaret Norris; two brothers, Albert of Yorkville, and J. B. Croushorn of Aurora. Mrs. Croushorn died in October, 1927 and a daughter, Mrs. Sadie Norris, died last March.
The funeral was held from the Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Croushorn had long been an elder, on Monday afternoon, July 10, Dr. John Holland of Rockford and the Rev. John E. Klein officiating. I referring to Mr. Croushorn Dr. Holland said; "Real greatness is lived in common homes," Rev. Kelin took as his test, Phillippians 1:21, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Burial was in the Oswego Cemetery.
A very large crowd gathered from the surrounding territory and from the towns for the funeral. There was a infusion of flowers attesting the high esteem in which Mr. Croushorn was held.
