Manford Crabbe, a well known farmer and lumberman of Cloverdale, on Friday received fatal injuries which resulted in his death on Sunday. He was assisting in the operation of a lath machine when a bolt flew over the saw and struck him with great force in the abdomen. The wound was horrible beyond description, yet he was rushed to the Fisher Memorial Hospital at Woodstock, a journey of more than 25 miles, with the hope that his life might be saved. The physician held out no hope of recovery and he passed away after two days of suffering. Mr. Crabbe was a popular man in his community and was well known over a large part of the County. For a number of years he farmed and during the winter he cut lumber for F.E. Sayre and others. This autumn he started to manufacture laths, using a Fordson tractor as motive power for his machine. He had just started the plant in operation and had not completed his first thousand of lath before he received his death blow. The son of Charles Crabbe, Sr., he is survived by three brothers, George Crabbe, Hartland, Charles and Arnold Crabbe of Cloverdale, also by two sisters, Mrs. Samuel Crabbe and Mrs. H.S. Adair. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon and was very largely attended.
Manford Crabbe
Carlisle, Nov. 15 -- This community was shocked when, on Saturday night, October 30th, the terrible message reached us that Manford Crabb had died at Woodstock Hospital from injuries received in his lath mill on Friday afternoon, October 29th. The sad death of Mr. Crabb, who was a general favorite among both old and young, has cast a deep gloom over the community. He was a true friend, a man of high ideals, and one who held the respect of all who knew him. Especially will his cheery greeting and ever ready laugh be missed by the children. Deceased was 36 years old and is survived by his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Crabb, two sons, Seymour and Graydon; four sisters, Mrs. Maggie Pulsifer, Nova Scotia, Mrs. Wesley Webb, Hainesville, Mrs. H.S. Adair, Mrs. Samuel Crabb of Cloverdale; and three brothers, George, Hartland, Charles, Cloverdale, and Arnold, Carlisle, who was his inseparable companion since boyhood days and who went with him as far as mortal early man can go, to the silent parting at the riverside.
Funeral services held at Cloverdale Church, Tuesday, Nov. 2nd, were very largely attended.
The pallbearers were James, John, Samuel and Willard Crabb, cousins of the deceased, who tenderly laid him to rest in Cloverdale Cemetery. The deep sympathy of all hearts goes out to the bereaved family in their sorrow.
