Marietta Journal, June 14 1900
From the Marietta Journal dated Thursday, June 14 1900:

IN MEMORIAM
(From Toledo Courier)

Monday morning last there passed from the earth all that was mortal of one we,
who have been residents of Toledo for more than fifteen years, knew and loved, a
man formerly prominent in Toledo's business affairs, public spirited to a fault,
a lovable, pure-minded, clean gentleman, one who was loved because he loved
others, one whose great big heart permitted him to be interested in hundreds of
friends, their love and their pleasures - for Charles M Crosby was never
pessimistic.  To him his friends were always the most loyal, their hearts the
truest, their hand shake the warmest, their home the brightest and their
greeting the pleasantest.  For many years he was identified with the drug
business here as a member of the firm of Vanstone & Crosby, some thirteen years
ago.  Charley, much to our regret, was forced to change climate on account of a
severe catarrhal trouble and so with a devoted wife and little daughter, he went
South, locating at Marietta, Ga., where he soon became identified with the drug
business.  He prospered because he deserved to and soon became sole proprietor
of the business.  This grew until he soon had the largest and most prosperous
retail drug business in the South.  Last October Mr Crosby was taken very ill
with double pneumonia, the disease affecting his lungs, ravishing these organs
and finally attacking the brain.  Though able to be at his place of business
nearly every day, Charley failed until death relieved him of his sufferings. 
The funeral services occurred at Marietta on Wednesday, and the following day
the remains were deposited in the family vault at Covington, Ky., alongside
those of his little daughter who died soon after leaving Toledo.  To the
broken-hearted wife in Marietta as well as to the brother and sister in this
city, the tenderest sympathy goes out in this hour of deep sorrow.  They have
the consolation however of knowing that there are hundreds of his old friends
here in Toledo who will ever honor his memory and treasure his friendship in the
days gone by, for Charlie Crosby was a man after his Maker's type, a true
gentleman and a fast friend.
