FUNERAL OF MRS. CRICKMORE
The remains of Mrs. Ella Crickmore arrived here on Thursday evening from Glendora, California, accompanied by Mr. Crickmore and her father, J. U. Keiser. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon, conducted by J. H. Ford of Indianapolis. A large concourse of friends were present to witness the last sad rites and to pay their respect to the memory of the deceased. Mrs. Crickmore was for many years a sufferer of lung trouble, which was the cause of her death. About two years ago, they moved to California where it was hoped her health would be benefited by the climate. But the insidious disease had so fastened itself upon her constitution that nothing could effect a permanent cure. After death, her remains were returned to the home of her childhood and by sorrowing friends were laid to rest beside those of her sister, who was taken a few years ago with the same dread disease.

OBITUARY
MRS. ELLA CRICKMORE
Ella, daughter of John U. and Emma Keiser, was born in New Castle, Ind., August 24, 1863, and died in Glendora, Cal., July 18, 1889. She was united in marriage to J. C. Crickmore, her now bereaved husband, February 17, 1886, in which happy union, she lived until death. She united with the M. E. church, at New Castle, while yet in her youth, which church she loved and to which cause she was faithful to the end.
Sister Crickmore began to fail in health some six years ago, when it soon became apparent that she was going of consumption, of which disease her only sister died in March, 1887. Her parents and husband spared neither effort nor means to restore her health, but all in vain. The best medical aid was secured, and the advice of physicians carried out at whatever costs. She was kept under medical treatment at Cleveland, O., for about fourteen months, but seemed to be little improved. Finally it was resolved to take her to southern California as the last hope of life, which her parents did, landing at Glendora in the winter of '87, followed soon by the other members of the family. Her days were lengthened no doubt, by the change of climate, but the disease had then too strong a hold to be thus defeated.
As a daughter, Ella, was kind and loving, endeavoring always to make herself agreeable and her parents happy. As a wife, she was devoted and true to the last. Among her acquaintances, she made many friends wherever she went, being of a sociable and lovable disposition. As a Christian, she was earnest and consistent, living what she professed and aiding by her influence and means the cause she so much loved. She maintains always a prayerful and cheerful disposition, which was a comfort to those around her. She was visited several times by her pastor, who always found her in a pleasant mood - nothing indicating a dread of the future. She talked freely concerning her religious experiences and expressed herself as being at peace with God and all the world. Visiting her on the last Sabbath before she passed away and after reading a few selections of Scripture and prayer we left her, though very feeble, yet with a bright face and an expression of deep inward joy. The loving disposition she manifested, the patience and resignation with which she endured her sufferings and the bravery with which she met death was certainly a benediction to all who attended her.
As the end grew near, she seemed to manifest greater concern for others than for herself - expressing especially her anxiety and love for her mother who so tenderly cared for her during all her illness. A few hours before her death, knowing that her time was short, she was perfectly calm, talking as though she was preparing for a journey; and on Thursday afternoon, July 18, she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus and her spirit took its flight to join her sister, Minnie, in the land where sickness and death are unknown. She leaves an infant child, born only a few hours before her death.
