"OBITUARY--CRAIN

The incidental mentiona that was made in these colums last 
week of the death of Mrs. Harvey Crain, was far from being 
all that we wishe to say of that most worthy woman. The wife 
of one of Geneseo's oldest and best citizens, who left us 
for the better world several years ago, she has since made 
her home with her son, George west of town, where she 
peacefully breathed out her life Dec. 30, aged 74 years, 
4 months and 25 days. 

Their sons, Henry, Charles and George, are such men as a 
father and mother can feel satisfied to leave to the world. 
Honorable, upright, with all the world for friends, and no 
enemies anywhere, they are worthy men to perpetuate a worthy 
name.

Among the household treasures the sons found an ancient 
account book whose yellow pages set forth in clear writing 
the financial transactions of the Crain family, reaching 
back into the last century. It is very curious. We have it 
now before us. The money then was pounds, shillings, and 
pense, "in Good King George's Glorious Days." 

We have also been shown an ancient French coin called Six 
Livres, date 1793, which the three Crain boys used as a 
"teething ring."
