Criswell whose death was noted exclusively in the Log Cabin last week was held in the M.E. Church in this place [Sunrise] last Friday, conducted by Rev. Pike, assisted by Reverends Jones and McIntyre. Notwithstanding the rainy forenoon, the house was crowded. Mr. Criswell had been in bad health for some time, suffering from a paralytic stroke. His death was expected at any time but not in the form it came. His son had left his father sitting in a chair smoking while he went out to he garden to get some lettuce for dinner. A few minutes after his son had left the room, the lady that lives with them said she smelled something burning. She ran to Mr. Criswell's room and found his clothing on fire. She raised the alarm and his daughter-in-law came to her assistance. They could do nothing with the flames until they threw two buckets of water on him. He was apparently sitting there dead until the water was thrown on him which revived him. Assistance was telephoned for. His son Willy was first to get there. Although he could not see he knew his voice and told him how it occurred: that his clothes caught fire from his pipe. Dr. Eckler reached there sometime afterward and he recognized his voice and told them they could do nothing for him for his time had come and he was ready to go. Mr. Criswell in his early manhood married Miss Lucinda Rankin. They started in life poor but by economy and industry had, before old age came on, gathered quite a nice supply of this world's good together. It has been said of Mr. Criswell before he began to divide up his property that he was the richest man in the northern Harrison county. He and his wife joined the M. E. Church at Old Crows Chapel early in life and trained their children in the way they should go. ...of the church where he belonged say 'the main stay of our church is gone'. He was elected first president of the Sunrise Deposit Bank and had to give the office up on account of ill health. His pall bearers were the directors of the bank; Levi Sandy, E. C. Elliott, D. C. Casey, William Lenox, J. A. Whalen, and Martin Light. He leaves six sons and two daughters, one son having died some 16 years ago and his wife three years ago. His children have the consolation that their parents lived the Christian life and were not afraid to die. 'Blessed are they that die in the Lord'" Log Cabin Friday 27 May 1910 Vol. 15 No. 20 Pg. 3 Col. 4 Hickory Grove Born to Mrs. Henry Hill, a son on 22 May 1910.
