ELMER CRISSINGER

  Elmer Crissinger, 61. Greenville Township farmer, died suddenly Sunday at his 
home.  He was a son of Nelson and Lucinda (Farber) Crissinger, and was born in 
Somerset County.  Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Tillie B. (Bittner) Crissinger, 
a daughter, Mrs. Wilbert Murray, and a son, Howard Crissinger, both of 
Greenville Township, and Harvey J. Miller, nephew and foster son, at home.  Five 
grandchildren survive.  He also leaves his aged mother, Mrs. Lucinda Crissinger, 
a bright and active woman of 83 years, who resides at the Crissinger home.
  Services were held at 2:30 Wednesday in the White Oak Evangelical Church by 
Rev. G. O. Bishop and Rev. Rhodes of the Church of the Brethren.  Burial in the 
church cemetery.
  Mr. Crissinger was one of the outstanding and successful farmers of the 
county.  He was a very jovial man, always smiling and liked by everyone.  Many 
floral tributes and a large attendance at his funeral on one of the coldest days 
of this winter attested of the many friendships he enjoyed.
