STANTON (SC) - Services were to be held at 2 p.m. Monday for Mrs. Fannie Elizabeth Cross, 91, who helped her husband establish a ranch in northern Glassock County 30 years.
Mrs. Cross died Sunday in a hospital in Big Spring. She had been ill for half a dozen years and had been hospitalized on several occasions.

Mrs. Cross was born Fannie Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Beauchamp, in Webster County, Ga., on Dec. 14, 1862. When she was a girl of three years, her family moved to Texas. She was married to Thomas P. Cross at Buffalo Gap on Nov. 5, 1888, and they began carving out ranch holdings. It was in 1920 that they settled in northern Glasscock County below Lomax.
