Louise Janet (Richmond) (Crandall) Crandall 1840-1915 "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 78, No 20, p 639, May 17, 1915. Louise Janet Richmond, daughter of Daniel and Aurilla Seamon Richmond, was born at DeRuyter, N. Y., June 16, 1840, and died at her home near Grand Marsh, Wis., April 25, 1915, being 74 years, 10 months, and 9 days. In early life she became a Christian and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church, to which faith she remained an adherent through the remainder of her life, being at the time of her death a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Grand Marsh, Wis. On September 5, 1871, she was united in marriage to Benjamin S. Crandall, of Dakota, Wis., to which union were born two daughters - Mrs. Annie L. Foat, of Coloma, Wis., and Mrs. Elizabeth L. Green, of Grand Marsh, Wis., and one son, Arthur Rolland Crandall, who died at the age of fourteen years. Mr. Crandall died March 11, 1887, and on May 22, 1896, she was united in marriage to Samuel H. Crandall, whose death preceded hers by nine years. For several years following her husband's death, she, with her daughter, Elizabeth, continued to live at the old homestead at Davis Corners. In 1913, her daughter was married to Myron Green, and sister Crandall was most tenderly cared for, in the new home of her daughter, until she was called to her eternal home. The faith of Sister Crandall was remarkably strong and her hope ardent. She was loyal and true to the last. Funeral services, conducted by Pastor W. D. Tickner, were held at Grand Marsh, April 27, after which the body was taken to Davis Corners for burial. Truly a good woman has been taken from our midst. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." W. D. T.
