I WILL PROVE THERE IS GENEALOGY ON THIS LIST, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MY AUNT WHO WAS BORN
IN PA HER SISTER MARY BORN IN CORNWALL ENGLAND. HOWEVER HER PARENTS RETURNED TO ENGLAND
AND GAVE BIRTH TO HER BROTHER RICHARD AND RETURNED TO AMERICA TO HAVE THEIR NEXT DAUGHTER
EMILY IN WI. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING JUST TO HAVE HER LISTED SOMEWHERE ELSE THAN CENSUS TO
EXPLAIN THIS BACK AND FORTH THING. A VOLUNTEER FOUND THIS OBIT FOR ME AND SENT IT TO ME
TODAY. THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY!
. I did find it today. It was on the front page of the paper! It reads as follows:
"Mrs. Crow, wife of John Crow, died on Wednesday morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Ralph Gill, one mile north of Merrill, after an illness of two weeks. Mrs.
Crow caught cold attending the funeral of a grandchild about two weeks ago and an attack
of grip followed, supplemented by erysipelas and inflammation rheumatism which went to her
heart. Mrs. Crow was sixty-two years old last November. Her death is a sad blow to her
husband and children. Mr. and Mrs. Crow, who have resided on South Avenue in this city
for the past three years, were making preparations to move to Merrill where they recently
purchased property to make their home. They have acquired a competency by long and
honorable toil and were planning to retire and enjoy a well earned rest and pass their
declining days in peace and comfort when death struck down the wife and mother.
Mrs. Crow was born in Pennsylvania, of English parents and when a girl crossed the
ocean twice with her parents who finally returned to America to make their home. Her
maiden name was Lizzie A. Faull, and she was united in marriage with John Crow at
Muscalunge, Wisconsin, in 1868. Two years later Mr. Crow came to Plymouth county and
homesteaded and in the following spring he and his wife took up their residence on the
homestead three miles northeast of Merrill and lived there for many years. Three
children, with the bereaved husband survive. They are Mrs. Marie Gill and Mrs. Shirbon of
Merrill and Bernard Crow who is weighmaster at the Sioux City stock yards. The funeral
was held on Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church in Merrill and the interment was
made in the cemetery at Broken Kettle where lie the remains of her mother, a brother and
brother-in-law."
I'm not sure if that "Mrs. Shirbon" is right. That's what it looks like
to me, but sometimes it's hard to tell. It never fails....whether it's my own
family or someone elses, I'm always fascinated to think of the stories behind the
people. Sounds like they would have had a lot of them!
