A.S. McCROREY DEAD
After an illness of two months with pleurisy Mr. A.S. McCrorey died at his
home in the Elm Grove community on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the age of 72
years and 6 months and the remains were laid to rest in the Elm Grove cemetery
on Friday under the auspices of the masons.
Mr. McCrorey was a veteran of the civil war and one of the very few "old
timers" in this community. He came to this community 58 years ago and settled
on the place on which he died. He is survived by his wife and eleven children,
all but one son and one daughter being at his bedside when the summons came
for him to go.
To the bereaved relatives the sincere sympathy of a host of friends is
extended.
