A feeling of surprise and deep sorrow pervaded this community on Monday, October 21, 1907, when a telegram came from Harry Crane, at Rome, in New York State, to the home folks saying: "Father is dying"; followed the next day by the announcement that he was dead. The body arrived in Exira on Wednesday, was carried to the family home, and the next day from the hours of ten till one the body lay in state where hundreds of people came to take a last look at their old friend and a man who had done more for Exira in the years that are past and gone than any citizen who ever lived here. At two o'clock the body was tenderly lifted by members of the Exira Knights of Pythias Lodge, of which order he was a member; and some of the Old Settlers Association, who had charge of the funeral; and borne to the Exira Christian Church where Elder H. A. Pallister, his former pastor, preached the discourse; after which a long line of carriages followed the remains to their last resting place in the Exira Cemetery. He is survived by a wife, one daughter, Kathryn Crane; two sons, William A. Crane of Missouri, and Harry Crane, of Decatur, Illinois, all of whom were present at the funeral obsequies. John Crane was a native of Ohio, having been born in Highland county in that State, on September 25, 1833. He was a farmer in early life, but after his removal to Audubon county he was appointed as deputy sheriff. He was the first Democratic candidate for sheriff in the county and was beaten in the general election held at the residence of John S. Jenkins, situated near where the village of Oakfield now stands; held on April 2, 1855, by one vote out of eighty one votes cast in the county.
