March 28, 1912 – Smith County Pioneer
OBITUARY
Thomas Crabb was born near Circleville, Ohio, February 28, 1834, and died at Esbon, Kans., March 24, 1912, aged 78 years and 25 days. He was married to Wealthy A. Wells, November 20, 1856.
Mr. Crabb went to Brown county, Ill., in 1853 where he lived until November, 1882, when he moved with his family to Smith county, Kans. Since 1906 he had resided at 2040 Bolles avenue, Topeka, Kans. He is survived by his wife and eight children: Mrs. H. Rabb, Inavale, Nebr; Mrs. D. W. Shankland, Mt. Sterling, Ill; Mrs. Sid Hillman, Bellaire, Kans; Charles E. Crabb, Cora, Okla; A. T. Crabb, Esbon, Kans; Walter Crabb, Sacramento, Calif; O. M. Crabb, Lebanon, Kans; Dr. J. A. Crabb, Topeka, Kans.
In his early manhood he united with the Presbyterian church and has been a faithful and tireless christian worker during his entire life. He has possessed but little of material wealth but was rich in the things of greater value – love, friends, helpfulness for others and abundant cheerfulness.
Funeral services were conducted March 25th in the Cora church by Rev. Gale of Lebanon. Interment in Cora cemetery.

Another Pioneer Gone
A most familiar heading is the above for the past few years. Every week the local papers of the county chronicle the passing of some pioneer. They are going rapidly. This week a great circle of old friends, neighbors and relatives mourn the passing of that grand old man of the Cora community, Mr. Thomas Crabb. Little did he or his friends think when he came up from Topeka last fall for an extended visit with his children that he would never return. But he was 80 or there-a-bouts and unable to withstand a parallytic stroke that came over him a month ago, while at his son Berts who lives six miles southeast of Lebanon where he passed over last Sunday morning March 24th 1912.
Dr. John Crabb and wife arrived from Topeka last Saturday. The fearful condition of the roads made it almot impossible for many people to make the long drive of 16 miles to the Cora cemetery where the burial took place Monday. Deceased settled in this county in 1878. A wife, three sons and two daughters survive him.
