Medicine Lodge Cresset (Medicine Lodge, KS) Fri Jan 9, 1903 pg 1 Pleasant W. Crawford On the second day of this year there was laid to rest, in the cemetery at Sharon, the body of one of the old land marks of the county, Pleasant W. Crawford. He was born in Putnam county, Indiana, on the 3rd day of May 1820, and accordingly was more than an octogenarian. His life was mostly spent in Missouri and Kansas and a few years in Oklahoma, where he lost his first wife who was the mother of ten children. In November, 1892, he was married to Mrs. Sarah Gifford, who survives him, and who has been very faithful and constant in watching over and taking care of him in his declining years. So much so as to challenge the admiration and love of all his children and grand-children. Mr. Crawford was a devoted christian and had been since early manhood. Of late years he devoted much of his time and conversation to the discussion and consideration of religious topics. His wife being a leader in religious thought and work agreed with him fully in the setting apart of Thursday in each week, for about a year past, for religious services at their home. The weekly meetings have been productive of great enjoyment and benefit to those who have attended them. Dr. Atwell attended him in his last illness and preached a very feeling and instructive sermon over his remains at the Christian church. He took to his bed on Christmas night and died, just a week later, on New Year's night. Four of his sons, three of them attending from other states, were present at his bedside and one daughter and one grand son also stood by him to the last and made every attempt possible to smooth his dying pillow. The entire community sympathetic with the widow and relatives in their sorrow.
