Susie Riley was born in the state of Kentucky, January 20, 1845, at the 
age of six years she moved with her parents to Bent county, Missiouri, 
where she grew to young womanhood and where she met and married Jacob 
Crumm in August 1859. To this union was born eight children, three 
daughters and five sons of whom the five sons and one daughter survive 
her. In 1881 she was converted and united with the Christian church, in 
1900 the family moved to Oklahoma and in 1901 located on their farm 
southwest of Verden, where she resided until the death of her husband 
which occurred on August 7, 1922, after which she made her home with her 
daughter, Mrs. Marie Beats of Washita, where after a long and eventful 
life in which she had served her generation faithfully, she passed away 
on Friday, November 4, 1927. Funeral services were held at the Methodist 
church, Saturday afternoon, the Rev. P. F. Harmon officiating and her 
body was layed to rest beside that of her husband. A large concourse of 
friends and relatives followed and paid their respects to her, who in 
life had been one of the world's best mothers. The floral offerings were 
many and very beautiful typifying the pure life she had lived. The 
surviving children are Mrs. Marie Beats, Washita, Lark, Jack, Jim, Zack 
and Sam, all were present at the funeral. Thus another good old mother 
has gone the way of Nature and until Nature's God her soul has been 
confined to life eternal.
