Thomas Crago
Thomas Crago, more familiarly known as "Papa Tom," passed away at the hospital in Havre, at 4 p. m., Friday, October 26, at the age of 62 years. The cause of his death was stomach trouble from which he was a sufferer for many years. About three months ago he was taken down to his bed, and about a week later was removed to the hospital at Havre, where he lingered between life and death until last Friday, Oct. 26 when he succumbed to the inevitable.
Thomas Crago came to Joplin some seven years ago from Kenmare, North Dakota, and engaged in the saloon business, which line of endeavor he followed up until the time of his death. He was a liberal, whole-souled and patriotic citizen, always contributing liberally towards all public utilities. He took an active part in politics, holding the position of democratic national committeeman for this district in Montana.
Deceased leaves a family of six sons and three daughters. His son William remained at his bedside until a week ago, when he was summoned to his home in the east. Two daughters, Mrs. W. J Mulvey and Miss Marie Crago, of Youngstown, Ohio, arrived here Tuesday night to make arrangements for the funeral which took place Wednesday afternoon and the body interred in its last resting place in the Joplin cemetery.
Thomas Crago was born in Durham, England, in 1855, coming to America 38 years ago, settling in Pennsylvania, where he married. After the death of his wife some years ago, he came west, migrating from one point to another finally settling in Joplin, where he remained until his death.
He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles at the time of his death.
