The Prairie Grove Herald
Thursday, April 14, 1910
CRAWFORD, Stanford R. - After an illness of ten days with pneumonia, Mr. Stanford R. Crawford died at his home at Viney Grove last Friday, April 8th, 1910. For several days his life hung by a fickle thread, at times giving hope for improvement, but the weak condition of his heart could not be overcome and death claimed him about 4:00 o’clock Friday morning. Mr. Crawford will be sadly missed in his community as a worker in the Sunday School and for his upright life as a strong Christian character. He was born in the community where he died, April 13, 1835 and lacked only a few days of being 75 years of age. September 5, 1855, he married Miss Melinda Edmiston and to them were born four children, two sons and two daughters, one son dying in infancy. When a boy of 15 he was converted at the old camp ground on Cane Hill and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and remained a member of that church until the day of his death. During the war, Mr. Crawford was a Confederate soldier, being a member of Boone’s company, Brook’s battalion. He was a member of Prairie Grove Camp of Confederate Veterans and the members of this organization attended the funeral in a body and conducted their funeral service at the grave. He is survived by his wife and three children, M.N. Crawford of Vinita, Oklahoma, Mrs. J.W. Taylor of Prairie Grove and Mrs. L.W. Beaty of Viney Grove. He also leaves one brother, Mr. J. I. Crawford of Southwest City, Missouri and three sisters, Mrs. Minda West, Mrs. L.H. Tucker and Mrs. Dr. Howell. The funeral services were held from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church Saturday morning and were conducted by Rev. H.A. Armstrong after which the burial was made in the Prairie Grove cemetery.
