(30 Mar 1916, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. JUDITH R. CRANE
Judith R. Jones was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, in the year 1843. 
She lived there until she was eleven years of age, when she moved with her
father and family to Texas, where she grew to womanhood.  She was married
to J. E. M. Crane in 1865.  She was the mother of ten children.  Two died
in infancy, and one daughter four years ago.  Four daughters, three sons,
a number of grandchildren and one brother survive her.
She was converted at the age of thirteen years and joined the Missionary
Baptist church, of which she was a consistent member until her death.  She
was a devoted wife, and a kind and affectionate mother.  She went to rest
after a long and lingering illness of eleven months duration.  She never
murmured, although she was never free from pain, and quietly passed away
at the home of her oldest daughter, Mrs. Middleton, on the morning of
March 21st.
The body was laid to rest in the Ural cemetery by the side of her husband,
who had preceded her death twelve years.  A large concourse of friends and
relatives followed the remains to the last resting place; where Rev. J. B.
Conley officiated, speaking kind words of hope, love and sympathy to the
sorrowing ones; and a word of warning to those who are not prepared to
meet their God.
