Elizabeth SEBOLT CRUM PRUITT died in Gregg Twp., Morgan Co., Indiana on Feb. 25, 1870.
She was buried in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery at Hall, Gregg Twp., Morgan Co., Indiana. Her
tombstone states she is 88y, 9m; 2nd wife of Brite Pruitt, Mother of 6, 38 grandchildren,
68 great grand children and 4 great-great grandchildren. 116 all living. According to
records she was Mother of 8, but it's possible they weren't counting the two sons
that died before she did. It is also possible the stone was mis-read as it was read in
1968. At this time is is barely readable. In 1860 she was in the census in Owen Co.,
Indiana in the household of her daughter, Mary "Polly" CRUM SMITH. Her two Crum
daughters both married SMITHS. One of was Daniel (Elizabeth Crum's husband and one
was Daniel Yager SMITH who was married to Polly. In 1870 she was living next to her
daughter, Ann Crow PRUITT BROWN. I know of no obituary.
