Susannah Croco Obituary

Plymouth Banner
On the 14th of June 1853, at her residence in Green township in this county of consumption, Mrs. SUSANNAH, wife of ADAM CROCO, in the fifty-ninth year of her age. The deceased was born near Pittsburg, Penn., where she lived until the year 1821, when her and her husband removed to Holmes county Ohio, at which place they remained until the latter part of May 1844, when they together with their family removed to this county. Mrs. Croco has long been a member of the Presbyterian church. She was an exemplary christian until her mind became shattered by disease. Some three years since it was discovered that she had measurably lost her reason and became insane, as is well known in this community. Two years since she was sent to the insane hospital at Indianapolis, where she remained about thirteen months. Whilst there she caught a severe cold which settled upon her lungs and perhaps done much towards hastening her dissolution. Whilst at the hospital, she became calm and on most subjects quite sane. During the last ten years she has been afflicted with various diseases, and her life was frequently despaired of. Her last sickness appeared to be a combination of various chronic diseases, which run into hasty consumption, and terminated in DEATH. She bore her affliction with meekness.
