Obituary of Edward Crosby 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" newspaper dated 20 Jun 1913.  


Mr. Ed Crosby, a prominent citizen of this county, died last Monday 
evening at his home in east Mitchell after an illness that was followed by a general break-
down due to old age.  Mr. Crosby was 88 years of age.  He was one of the pioneers in the 
development of this county and lived to see many remarkable changes in the one-time 
forests and swamps of this section.  He was a prosperous farmer, before his age 
compelled him to retire, and was regarded as a substantial citizen. He leaves three 
children, Mr. J.P. Crosby of Albany, and Mr. Sam Crosby and Mrs. Henry Mansfield of 
this county. The funeral took place at Shady Grove Church last Tuesday afternoon, the 
services being conducted by Rev. H.N. Burnett.
