Gladwin County Record dated 12-01/1899 Column - 2 Page - 8
Garnett Crumpacker was born Nov. 22, 1829 in Clark county, Ohio. Died Nov. 22, 
1899, aged 70 years. Was married to Mary A. Arehart, of Harding county, Ohio, 
on the 29th day of June 1856. Into their union were born seven children. He 
leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss, two of his children having 
passed away before him. He joined the 45th O.V.I. at Ridgeway, Ohio. He went 
to Ontario in 1862, and was gone three years. He joined the Missionary 
Baptists when a young man, some few years before he was married. He was a 
faithful follower in the belief. He preached to his comrades whenever it was 
convenient for him. His daily life was a Christian lesson and gave example to 
all who knew him. He was a faithful attendant to our Sunday-school and was 
teacher of the Bible class ever since the Sunday school started, and that is 
two years ago. He will be sadly missed. He was liked by everyone--always had a 
smile and a pleasant, cheerful word for everyone. He belonged to the G.A.R. 
post in West Mansfield, Ohio. He was in Company I. Old Soldiers served as 
pallbearers. His remains were laid to rest in Tobacco cemetery on Sunday, Nov. 
26, 1899, and a large number of friends followed his remains to their last 
resting place. A great many floral pieces were given by friends. He preached 
the gospel 36 years. Was an ordained minister a part of that time. He moved 
from Mt. Victory, Ohio, in 1829, to Edenville, Midland county, Mich., where he 
resided, then moving to Hope township, and afterwards moved to Tobacco 
township, Gladwin county, living there five years. His last days with us were 
full of fun and mirth. He ate a hearty supper and retired early, and his sons 
on returning from church notied heavy breathing. On going to him they tried to 
rouse him, but he never showed signs of knowing them, and soon was gone. The 
doctor said it was apopolexy. Source: Gladwin County Record dated 12-01/1899

   Correction---In the obituary of Garnett Crumpacker, published in the Record 
a few weeks ago, the type made it read that "he went to Ontario in 1862, and 
was gone three years," which is an error. He enlisted in 1862, joined the 45th 
O.V.I. at Ridgeway, Ohio, and served in the civil war to its close. Source:
