WINDSOR WHISPERINGS

   February 6,  - On Friday, February 2, 1900, our town was shocked by the 
sudden death of our esteemed townsman Mr. Ocie C. Crump, which occurred about 
7 o’clock that morning.  He had been in feeble health for several years, but 
was as well as usual up to an hour before his demise.  Heart disease was the 
cause of his death.  Mr. Crump was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, liked by 
everyone.  He was a loyal Democrat, a true Confederate soldier, and a member 
of the Methodist Church.  He leaves a devoted wife and two daughters; Mrs. 
John King, of Suffolk, and Miss Zaidee Crump, of this place, and numbers of 
other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

   The funeral services were held in the Main Street Methodist Church of 
Suffolk and were conducted by Mr. Crump’s pastor, Rev. J.A. Thomas, assisted 
by Revs. W.T. Green and W.W. Staley, D.D.  The pallbearers were Messrs. W.H. 
Andrews, J.H. Holland, O.T. King, A.L. Saunders, J.B. Wilson and C.F. Joyner, 
active; Hon. J.B. Pinner, Hon. E.E. Holland, W.H. Jones, Jr., and Dr. A.W. 
Eley, honorary.  The remains were interred in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Suffolk.
