Jacob Sanford Crissman died suddenly in Whitehall on Tuesday about noon, after an illness that had lasted scarcely three days. He was taken on Saturday morning with what appeared to be an attack of the grip. It developed into pneumonia and Monday Dr. Davis was called in consultation. All that could be done was done, but the disease had fastened too firmly upon his system to be broken. His friends and relatives did not know that he was sick till Tuesday morning. C. E. Morris was in town on Monday evening and wired Eli Adkins that Mr. Crissman's condition was alarming, but the message was not delivered till 11 Tuesday. Mr. Adkins and George Dodsworth, Mr. Crissman's step-son started at once, but arrived too late. The body was prepared by Undertaker Less and taken to Pony Tuesday evening, by way of Sappington, and buried there Thursday afternoon.
Jacob Sanford Crissman, was born (in) Bedford, Pa., 69 years ago. Coming to Montana in 1866, he settled in Diamond City, and is therefore known among the pioneers of Southern Montana. He was for years engaged in the sawmilling business, in which he accumulated some property. He settled in this valley in 1876, living at his Jefferson Island stock ranch until three years ago. In 1884 he was married to Mrs. McCabe Dodsworth, who died in 1893. Her remains lie buried at Jefferson Island, but will be removed to Pony, so it is stated, and laid beside those of her husband. Two step-children survive him, Mr. George Dodsworth and Mrs. James Kidd, both of Pony.
Mr. Crisman was president and a stockholder in the Whitehall Realty Co. He also had land interests in the Waterloo district, and was, therefore, a frequent visitor here. He served Madison county as commissioner for four years, closing his term in December, 1897.
