Ionia County News, 2 May 1940

The Fales funeral home of Belding received a telegram Thursday afternoon from
Mrs. Effie Curtis Crawford, of East St. Louis, Illinois, announcing the death of
her husband, William Crawford, on Wednesday, stating that his body would arrive
in Belding Saturday morning.

Mr. Crawford, a former resident here, was born near Belding, March 21, 1865.  He
taught school at Cook’s Corners in 1888-89, where he married Effie Curtis,
August 15, 1889.  They moved to East St. Louis 30 years ago, where he was mayor
of Washington Park, a suburb of that place, at the time of his death.  He was a
member of the Masonic order.

Surviving beside the wife are: one brother, Emmett Crawford, of Six Lakes; two
sisters-in-law, Mrs. Cora Skellenger and Mrs. Milo Richmond, of Belding; five
nieces and two nephews.

A short prayer service was held at Cooks Corners Saturday with Rev. Hubert S.
Ellis officiating, and burial was in Otisco cemetery.
