Thomas Crosby, a former resident of Pottstown, and for more than a quarter 
of a century sexton of Christ P. E. Church, died on Monday at the home of 
his daughter, Mrs. Howard Baker, in Philadelphia, of ailments due to his 
advanced age.  He was aged 77 years and up to within a short time of his 
last illness he had enjoyed good health.
 
Mr. Crosby was well known to many Pottstown people, particularly to the 
communicants of Christ Church, where he was faithful in the performance 
of his duties until old age incapacitated him.  He is survived by two 
daughters, Mrs. Howard Baker of Philadelphia, and Mrs. William Lachman, 
of Spring City.
 
His remains will be brought to Pottstown from Philadelphia, on the 11:30 
train on the Reading Railway tomorrow.  The interment will be made in Mt. 
Zion Cemetery.  Rev. Frederic C. Jewell rector of Christ Church, will have 
charge of the services.
