CRABTREE, ELI RUSSELL - (Dallas News) - Returning with his wife from church,
Eli Russell Crabtree fell as he was about to mount the steps at his home, 713
Commerce street, Saturday night. Though the body showed little sign of life,
Dr. A. T. Remer was summoned by the family in hopes that something might be
done. It was pronounced by the doctor that heart failure was the cause of
death, and that he was probably dead when he toppled over. In falling, the
head struck on a plank and the forehead was slightly bruised. He was about 43
years old. Burial in the Greenwood cemetery. Added by Sulphur Springs Gazette
- Mr. Crabtree was well known in this city, having lived here the greater part
of his life. For the past several years he had been making his home in Dallas.
His father, mother, four brothers, a sister, wife and two children survive
him. (Gazette, Fri., Feb. 5, 1909) Later reported - Mr. & Mrs. W. E. Crabtree
and brother, Lawrence, of this city, attended the funeral services of their
brother, E. R. Crabtree, who died in Dallas Saturday night.
