Albert Charles Crandall, eldest son of Cary Crandall, was born at 'Baker's Bridge,' N. Y., July 13, 1825, and died at his home near Farina, Ill., Jan. 3, 1908.
When he was 12 years old, his father and Eld. Richard Hull removed with their families to Fulton Co., Ill. This long journey by wagon and boat was a great event in the life of the boy. His father settled on a farm near Lewiston, where he experienced the hardships of early pioneer life. On March 27, 1851, he was married to Rebecca J. Hess, with whom he happily lived almost 57 years. To them were born 5 children: Mrs. R. J. Maxson of Gentry, Ark., J. Clarke Crandall and Mrs. E. O. Burnett of Milton, Wis., and Wm. J. and A. L. Crandall of Farina.
In the spring of 1869 he came to Farina, where he has since lived. In youth he was converted and baptized, but he never united with a church. In belief he was a Seventh-day Adventist.
The writer of this notice has had several conversations on religion with the deceased. Not long before his death, while I was calling upon him, he spoke of his approaching departure and manifested a beautiful spirit of faith in Jesus Christ. He enjoyed having the Bible read to him, and hearing his friends sing and pray. On one of these occasions he prayed that the Spirit of God would come to his spirit and perfect it.
The Pastor of the Farina Seventh-day Baptist church conducted the burial services at the church, speaking from Christ's words, 'I am the resurrection and the life.'
