Husband to Serena I. Cranor
ALTOONA TRIBUNE, FEBRUARY 18, 1915
Joshua Cranor Dies Suddenly-- This community was shocked last Friday morning when it was announced that Joshua Cranor had died suddenly from heart disease at his home 3 miles southeast of Altoona. He arose that morning in usual health and was talking to his family when he suddenly fell over dead.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in Altoona Saturday, interment being in Altoona Cemetery.
Joshua was born October 5, 1840 near Greensboro, North Carolina. He was 74 years, 4 months and 7 days old at his death. With his parents he moved to Kentucky in 1846, where he grew to manhood. He enlisted in Company G. 17th Regular Kentucky Volunteers, October 15, 1861. Was discharged because of disabilities April 20, 1862.
He was united in marriage to Serena I. O'Roark March 29, 1869. His wife, 7 sons and 3 daughters survive. The sons, Edward, Robert, William, George, John, Benjamin and Frank and the daughters, Mrs. Sadie Crowder, Mrs. Iola Kessell, all live in the vicinity of their father's home where he has resided since the spring of 1870. Mrs. Mary Green, the youngest daughter, resides in Chanute.
All of these children have reached the years of maturity, the younges t being 23 years of age and all have families except two. The wish of the father's heart to live to see his children all grown has been gratified. The passing of this father is the first inroad that the pale rider death has made in this large family. He knew all about the struggles and privations of the poor man in a new country, but through persistent effort, frugality and good management, he succeeded in making a good home in which he enjoyed many of the comforts of life during the latter years of his life.
He was a good husband, a loving father and a true friend. His word was as good as his bond, he believed in God, in God's people and the church. His race is run and he is gone, let us emulate every good quality he possessed. He was an honorable gentleman in the highest sense that term implies. To man, woman or child, saint or sinner, he always extended a cordial greeting. He commanded the respect of all. By the death of Joshua Cranor this community loses a good and righteous man.
