From The New Castle Record, dated Saturday, June 16, 1900:
George M. Craft, who died about 5 o'clock on last Friday morning, was nearly 52 years of age and had been a sufferer from a complication of diseases for several months. He was an honest, upright citizen, and is a loss to this community where he has made his home for the past two years. Mr. Craft leaves a widow and seven children in his immediate family and four brothers and one sister. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. O.W. Lusby of the M.E. Church on last Saturday. A large crowd of people were present at the interment thus attesting the esteem in which he was held. Much sympathy is felt for the sorrowing family in their bereavement.
