Craig was born in Antrim county, Ireland Oct. 21, 1833 and passed to his heavenly home Jan. 18, 1907, aged 73 years, 2 months and 21 days and was married to Jane Montgomery May 26, 1857. They came to America in April '65. To them were born 9 children, 3 sons and 6 daughters all of whom are living except the eldest daughter, Margaret Wright, who died March 6, '08. Having known deceased about 40 years, have always regarded him as one whom the scripture declared, "Thou shalt not see the righteous foresaken." When he and his faithful companion resolved to leave the land of their birth we can imagine their feelings of sorrow at forsaking all former associations. But they were sustained with the hope and determination of finding a home and friends across the sea, all of which were realized. The maladies causing the death of our neighbor, while not persistently painful caused much continuous suffering and it became evident a few weeks ago that his life could not be prolonged. He was resigned and uncomplaining always appreciating every care and kindness, during all his affliction being sustained by the unseen power divine. Card of Thanks We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the loving friends who so kindly assisted us and for the words of sympathy in the sickness and death and burial of our beloved husband and father. Mrs. C. Craig and Family
