Belding News, 20 April 1900
George N. Crippen, whose dangerous illness was announced in these columns last 
week, died last Friday night.  Funeral services were held at the residence 
Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, of which Order 
he was an honored member.  Revs. Staley, Quick and McDonnell took part in the 
services.  Burial took place in River Ridge cemetery.

Mr. Crippen was sick only about six days and during that time, the best 
medical attendance failed to restore him to health.  He was conscious up to 
within two minutes of his death, and was informed several hours before his 
death that he could not survive.  He said that he had tried to live an 
honorable life and that he had no fear of death.  The thoughts of parting with 
his wife, three sons, and wide circle of dear friends grieved him, but he 
realized that "all who are born of flesh must die" and that his time had come, 
but that the parting was not permanent and lasting.  He was an honored 
citizen, a fond husband, an affecionate father, and will be greatly missed.
