was entered as a s diool exhibit in

jompetilion with professional work.

The fire drill of Wednesday nuini-

cend d the f re escape and were on

MRS. JOHN CRUTCHFIELD

With life seemingly hanging by a

slender thread for several months, th*

end came Wednesday morning at six

o'clock, nd Mrs. Ilaattie E., wife of

John E. Crutchfield, left "all that is

mortal,” and passed Into the eter­

nal realities.

Born in Clark county, Illinois, Feb­

ruary 19, 1971, she d ed October 1st,

1913, in middle life, 42 yearp, 7

months and 10 days of age.

Though the home has been In Je­

rome recently, for many years Mr.

and Mrs. Crutchfield were residents

of Mountain Home, where they are so

well and favorably known,

mother, Mrs. Rachel Stanfield, living

here in Mountain Home, Mrs. Crutch­

field was brought there May 29, and

there lived her last day, all being

done that repeated consultation of

doctors could not restore to life.

The deceased was the only living

child of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan M.

Stanfie’d, the father having preced­

ed her In 1899.

Besdcs the husband and mother,

sbe leaves three children, Mrs. Edna

Mae West, of Jerome and Charles

and Wil iam Crutchfield, also an

uncle, Jamep B. Staniield, of Moun­

tain Home.A professed Christian for 22 yearB,

she had the great satisfaction of

having with her as members of the

church her husband and all three ol

her children. The family were all

mernb rs of the Baptist church of

Mountain Home.

It was the natural consummation of

such a Chris.ian personal and family

life that on the morning of her de­

parture at four o'clock she should

call around her death bed her loved

ones and herself pray for them and

exh r. t em to meet her again.

Three weekB ago Saturday night

when she was thought near the end

pi e dd the sam , and with her pas­

ter's wife sang that soul song,

“Nearer My God to Thee."

Funeral servlets were held at the

Bap 1st church Thu;sday afternoon,

at 2:30 o’clock, and in the absence

of the pastor, Rev. John A. Peake,

who was at the state Baptist confer­

ence, Rev. C. E. Mason of the Con­

gregational church
