Note: OLD RESIDENT OF MOUNDS DEAD

Mrs. Lottie Crain, Aged 62 Years, Passed Away Early This Morning

Mrs. Lottie Crain, the widow of the late William R. Crain, died this morning at 7:30 at the home of her brother, Police Magistrate Albert Spence, as the result of injuries received in Mound City on the 1st of August, by being run down by an I. C. engine that was switching in the yards. Her injuries were so severe that a very few people at that time thought it possible for her to recover. Doctors Whitaker and Hardin paid attention to her injuries and she was brought to the home of her sister, Mrs. Carson, on Delaware Avenue, at Mounds, where she received the most careful nursing and attention. A week ago she was removed to the home of her brother, Albert Spence, on Front Street, where she gradually became weaker until, this morning, death put an end to her suffering. She was a woman well known and had a host of friends in this county. She was born at Olmsted, Pulaski County, Feb. 23rd, 1850, and died at Mounds in the same county, Oct. 28, 1912, aged 62 years, 8 months and 5 days. She was married to William R. Craine, Feb. 21st, 1894. She has been a member of the Congregational Church for several years in which she was an active worker. She was also a member of the Eastern Star and also the Mounds Rebekah Lodge. She leaves one brother, Albert Spence, and three sisters, Mrs. Matilda Clanton, Mrs. H. C. Clanton, and Mrs. J. J. Carson, to mourn her loss.

The funeral announcement will be made in tomorrow's issue of The Citizen.
