MRS. FRANK CRUMBLEY FALLS ON SLEEP
     Died, at her country home June 14th, 1928, Mrs. Frank Crumbley aged 46.
     She is survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. A. J. Steele and Mrs. 
J. S. Elliott and one son, Lehugh Crumbley. Also by her father Mr. J. G. 
Elliott, two sisters, Mrs. Shirley Moseley and Mrs. Mary Morris, three 
brothers, Messrs. Americus, Ernest and Irby Elliott.
     The funeral was from Salem Church, Friday 11 a. m. Rev. Cowart assisted by 
Rev. Oxford, officiated. Interment in church yard, D. T. Carmichael funeral 
director in charge.
“Not here, Oh Death, not here,
Is there no other flower for thee to take?
All the world is thine, and for its sake.
Oh! come not here.”
     But alas, “Death loves a shining mark”, and so it came.
     In the death of Mrs. Pearl Crumbley we fully and keenly realize our loss. 
She was true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright 
chapter in any life. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has 
removed her can reconcile us to her absence. While she has gone from the 
scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live 
in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her retiring nature led her to hide 
her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who 
enjoyed her acquaintance, yet, it was in her home that her true worth was most 
conspicuous. She was a kind, loving daughter, and her devotion to the family 
circle  had no limit.
     The sunshine of love could not warm her to life nor the affection of 
parenthood beguile her from drooping. Her breath went out like the exhalation 
of a sweetly fragrant minion of the woodland and in her stead was left only a 
holy and beautiful memory, a memory that will last as long as parental 
existence.
     “God touched her with His finger, and she slept,” the poet wrote. So may 
we say of this dear life, “God touched her with His finger, and she slept,” but 
not until a beautiful life was lived , a noble example of patience, fidelity to 
truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly  life, in Christ 
Jesus, had cheered and illuminated the valley of the shadow, And now, that she 
sleeps, memory takes up the harp of life, and smiting the strings, finds that 
her virtues melt into music. So it ever is, when a life is nobly and divinely 
lived.
     Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who 
were nearest to her will long for her with unutterable longings, long for a 
mother’s counsel and advice, and a wife’s gentle and loving sympathy. She was a 
woman of strong Christian character, patient, loving and self sacrificing.
     “Mourn, not the lost! in realms of changeless gladness, Where friendships 
ties are never crushed and broken, we still may meet,
     He who holds our sadness Hath to the trusting heart assurance spoken of 
that blest land, where, free form care and pain.
Fond Friends unite again.”
