Martin B. CRABBS, 63, one of Fulton county's well known farmers, died suddenly Friday evening at 10 o'clock at his farm west of Rochester. Although Mr. Crabbs had not been well for several months, he retired Friday evening feeling as good as usual. About 10 o'clock, his daughter, Fannie, heard her father breathing hard, but before she could summon a physician, he passed away. His illness was heart disease. Mrs. Crabbs died about 12 years ago.
Martin Crabbs was born in Ohio and moved to this county about 28 years ago and for the past 24 years he lived on the farm where he died. Mr.Crabbs was the father of eight children seven of whom are living: Mrs. Job MILLER of Ladysmith, Wis.; Mrs. Fred COOK, Culver; Albert CRABBS of Ohio; and Miss Fanny CRABBS, Fred [CRABBS], Donald [CRABBS] and C. CRABBS who are at home. He leaves one brother and two sisters, Grant CRABBS, Mrs. Alice FIDDLER and Mrs. William SLASON of Ohio. The children will be home to attend the funeral.
Mr. Crabbs was a life-long member of the republican party and took an active interest in its affairs. Last spring he headed a petition to build an improved road west of Rochester, which was known as the Crabbs highway.
