Joseph Franklin Crabb departed this life October 21, 1928 being 72 years, 7 months and 18 days of age. He was born in the state of Mississippi March 3, 1856. He came to Illinois with his parents when just a small boy and settled in Pope County where he spent the remainder of his life. He was united in marriage to Mary E. Asbell December 19, 1878; to this happy union were born 10 children; five boys and five girls, of which two boys, one girl and the good companion preceded him to the Glory Land. He has suffered some four or five years from gland trouble; was operated on once, but it seemed with all the doctoring and kind care that loving hands could do, that the Lord saw best to call him home. He professed a hope in Christ at an early age and united with the Bethany Church of General Baptist. He and wife were ordained as deacon and deaconess of that church about twenty-five years ago. His life was a life of services for the Master. He was always found at his post of duty. He departed this life in the triumphs of a loving Christ and left an abundance of evidence that he had only gone home to rest. He leaves to mourn his loss, 7 children, 3 brothers, 1 sister and a number of grand children and great grandchildren besides a host of relatives and friends.
His body was laid to rest in the Asbell cemetery beside his wife to await the resurrection morning. Written by his grandson J. Roy Carr. Taken from the Hardin County Independent 6 November 1928
