Criswell March 29, 1847, and moved to Iowa in the early 50's, and has resided on the homestead in Lincoln township till two years ago when she moved to Jerome.

Johnston, Kansas City.
Mrs. Criswell was a lovable woman, with many friends. She was a member of the Presbyterian church in early life and affiliated with it later years, the absence of a church from her vicinity prevented her maintaining active relations. The funeral was conducted Wednesday at 2:30 at the Methodist church, Jerome, by Rev. L. M. Beebe, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Seymour, and interment was at Jerome.
