Died on same day - Dec 17, 1912, - Brothers, both long suffers from Illness Pass away, Robert & Howard CROUCH
The family of Mr. and Mrs. James CROUCH residing in Hinton was sorely bereaved on Sunday by death which entered their home and took from it two sons within an hour.
Robert CROUCH aged 28 died at eight o'clock in the morning and an hour later his brother Howard aged 21 passed to the portals of the beyond. Both young men were relieved from long suffering. Robert had been practically helpless for eleven years, having been invalided ever since he had a severe attack of grip which affected his spine and limbs. Two years ago Howard was stricken with a similar malady. He was able however to help himself and could get about with the aid of a wheel chair and a familiar figure in the streets of Hinton selling papers, magazines and other articles.
Besides the bereaved parents, the boys leave four brothers and two sisters who all live in Hinton and vicinity. One sister is married, Mrs. Wm. REYNOLDS.
Robert and Howard CROUCH were born in the old CROUCH homestead in Liberty township and lived in Plymouth county all their lives. They were devotedly nursed by their mother whose heart went to her boys deprived in young manhood of all that makes life worth living but who bore their misfortune with resignation and a cheerfulness which was admirable to see.
The funeral will be held today at the Methodist Church in Hiton and the interment made at Liberty.
