the scene of conflict without having been permitted a furlough. He was born 
on the Richard CROOKS farm, July 2nd, 1893 and had lived with his parents 
until he entered the service. Corp. Daniel CRAVEN entered the Army October 
6, 1917, and sailed for overseas in April, 1918 without being permitted to 
get home on a furlough to see his parents. He was a young man 26 years of 
age, of high moral character and an exemplary member of the Noblestown 
United Presbyterian church. When 16 years of age he united with the church 
and all the years and in his army career he was true to his profession, 
living a clean, pure and useful life. He was interested in the Bible class 
in the camps and faithful in the opportunities that came to attend religious 
services, often quoting texts used. he made the supreme sacrifice October 
25, 1918, being in Company B, Sixth Engineers. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas CRAVEN, and family are faithful members of the Noblestown United 
Presbyterian congregation. Daniel will be missed in the home, the church 
and the community, but "to depart and be with Christ is far better."
