Obituary of Herschel & Roy Crocker, Crawford County, Illinois Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives Copyright 2000 Jim Admire Death Visits Many Homes in this Community During the Past Week Few people in this vicinity have been called upon to bear a burden of grief greater than that which has visited Isaac Crocker during the past two weeks. On Sunday, March 10th. his wife died at their home south of West Union, leaving him with four children confined to their beds. Friday night the death angel came again, and called his baby, Herschel, who was buried Saturday by the side of the mother, and Sunday the spirit of his eight-year-old boy, Roy took its flight, making the third death which had occurred within a week. The blow comes even harder, as no death had occurred in the family untill this time, and the father and surviving children have the sympathy of all, in their sorrow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organizations or persons.
