Cranston, Betty J.
LAKE LUZERNE -- Betty J. Cranston, age 85, of Lake Avenue, died Wednesday
morning, Jan. 26, 2005, at her home.
Born on Jan. 10, 1920, in Schenectady, she was the daughter of George and
Elizabeth (Belding) Fishburn.
Upon graduating from high school in Schenectady and Practical Nursing School
in Albany, she was employed at several area hospitals, nursing homes and
private duty nursing positions. She served as manager of "Health Haven," a
rest home on Lake Luzerne run by Dr. Bloom in 1954.
On April 11, 1955, she married George H. Cranston at St. Mary's Episcopal
Church in Lake Luzerne, after which she became a real estate broker, working
with her husband. Mr. Cranston died on Sept. 23, 1969. Following his death,
Betty returned to nursing and was employed at the Wilton Developmental Center
for several years and at Albany County Nursing Home.
Betty was a pioneer in the struggle to secure rights for people with
disabilities. Her desire to be released from a nursing home and be cared for
at home was brought to Gov. Pataki and culminated in a bill which calls for a
policy making council to ensure that people with disabilities can choose to
live at home or in community settings rather than institutions.
Betty was an active member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, where she served as
treasurer for several years and Altar Guild director.
She enjoyed quilting, cross word puzzles, gardening, flowers and her poodle
"Mokey." She also enjoyed traveling with her lifelong friend, Carol Rider. One
of their favorite destinations was the coast of Maine.
Betty was predeceased by an infant son and a step-son, George R. Cranston.
Survivors include one son, David W. Cranston of Lake Luzerne; a stepdaughter,
Jacqueline Ireland and her husband, George, of Niceville, Fla.; one brother,
the Rev. Barclay B. Fishburn and his wife, Ruth, of Kissimmee, Fla. and Lake
Luzerne; five stepgrandchildren: Michael Cranston, Michelle LaMora, Bruce
Ireland, Thimothy Ireland and George Ireland; and several
stepgreat-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday at St. Mary's Episcopal Church Parish
Hall, Lake Luzerne.
Spring burial will be at Luzerne Cemetery.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2 p.m. Monday at St. Mary's Church, with

de Velder, Rev. Walter
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- The Rev. Walter de Velder, 97, died Saturday, Jan. 22,
2005, in Saratoga Springs. He was a lifelong missionary of the Reformed Church
in America in China, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Walter was born on May 17, 1907, in Boyden, Iowa to Franklin and Aartje de
Velder.
He received his B.A. from Hope College, Holland, Michigan in 1929. After a
three year mission assignment to Xiamen, China, he entered New Brunswick
Theological Seminary, graduating in 1935. He won a fellowship to study at the
University of Utrecht, Netherlands. He was fluent in the Dutch language and
eventually in Chinese.
Upon his return he was ordained and commissioned at First Reformed Church, New
Brunswick, N.J. In 1936, his mission assignment was to Xiamen, China.
In 1940, Walter's first wife, Margaret Otte, daughter of R.C.A. missionaries,
died giving birth to a son, Philip. Later Walter married Harriet Boot,
missionary nurse, also a daughter of China missionaries. Together they had
four children.
Their lives were often filled with danger. In 1944, they became refugees and
were flown over the Himalayas into India by the 14th Air Force of Chennault's
Flying Tigers. At the end of World War II, in 1945, Walter, was asked to
re-open the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam, Netherlands, which had been
used by the German navy during the war years. Eventually returning to China
they were once again forced to leave when the Communist took power in 1949.
After four years in Cebu, Philippines, Walter and family moved to Hong Kong to
work with the Church of Christ in China, Hong Kong Council. He helped refugees
through Church World Service, taught at Chung Chi College, served as treasurer
for many missions and was a chaplain to the U.S. Navy, who used Hong Kong for
R & R.
In 1972, Walter and Harriet retired but soon volunteered to help in Taiwan. In
1981, they made a trip back to Xiamen, China, where they had reunions with
Christian friends not seen for 30 years.
Since 1986, Walter lived at Embury Apartments in Saratoga Springs. He was a
member of the Golden Kiwanis, volunteered at Wesley Health Care and was a
member of the Old Saratoga Reformed Church, Schuylerville, and the R.C.A.
Classis of Schenectady. Walter loved music and travel. He participated in the
Hong Kong Oratorio Society for 17 years and made numerous trips around the
world.
Walter's love for God translated into a great love for people. He was a loving
missionary and friend, assisting countless numbers of people throughout his
life.
His wife of 59 years, Harriet, and his son, Philip, preceded him in death.
Survivors include one daughter and three sons and their families: Margaret and
Edward Hougen of Boston, Mass. (children, Sarah and Edward); Dirck and
Marielle de Velder of Paris, France (children, Marc, Sabrina and Alan); John
de Velder of New Brunswick, N.J. (children, Rebecca and David); and David and
Joyce de Velder of Schuylerville (children, Nathaniel and Mikael);
great-grandchildren include: Vladimir, Maximillian, Fiona, Thomas, Tabitha,
Theodore and Tristan.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 19, at the Old
