beyond.  Mrs. Catherine Crook answering the final summons Sunday morning at
3:40 o'clock at the family residence, 139 Gallagher street.  She had been 
ill for several years with dropsy and suffered greatly but bore it nobly with
Christian patience and fortitude.  Deceased was of Scottish parentage born 
in Glasgow, Scotland, Nov. 20, 1834 and for over thirty years was the beloved
wife of Thomas Crook, who survives her.  During her life time of three 
score years and ten Mrs. Crook was ever a faithful and conscientious church 
member having belonged to the Hess street Methodist Episcopal church during its
existence on Hess avenue, and later to the Epworth church, where she was
always found to be in attendance at it services and a worker in all its
religious departments.  She will also be missed in the Ladies Aid Society
especially where she always attended and was a member to be relied upon.
During her residence of more than 20 years in Saginaw she has made many
friends who will miss the kindly face and pleasant smiles with her cordial
handshake and welcome greeting.  Funeral services will be held Tuesday
afternoon at 1:30o'clock from the late residence 139 Gallagher street and 2
o'clock from the Epworth church. Interment in the Forest Lawn cemetery.
