Corning friends are grieved to learn of the death of Charles Crow which occurred Friday Morning, April 15, 1932, after a lingering illness. Mr. Crow was born and reared in Adams County. It was here he received his early training in newspaper work, having been employed in the Gazette and the Adams County Union. At the time A. B. Shaw sold out the Union and went to California, Crow was employed by him. Two children were born during the time they resided here. The following obituary written by a particular fiend telling in detail of his life and career was taken from the Greenfield Free Press.
Stricken with apoplexy while at such in his office in January of last year from which he never recovered, C. E. Crow, editor and publisher of the Massena Echo died at his home Friday morning, April 15, 1932 at 3:30 a.m. He was aged 83 years.
After he was stricken, Mr. Crow was unable to return to work and his newspaper has been in charge of by his daughter, Mrs. Fern Graham of Omaha.
Charles E. Crow, son of George E. and Fanny Harlow Crow, was born at Quincy, Adams County, Iowa, on September 3, 1867. He taught school in Adams County for a short time and then took a job as editor of The Corning Union. He later studied to be a doctor and for ten years practiced his profession in Muscatine, Iowa.
In 1912 he bought the Villisca Letter and re-entered the newspaper work. On December 1st, 1916 he bought the Massena Echo. As editor and owner of the paper, he continued until his death.
Mr. Crow was married on June 2, 1896 to Cora Lee McMannana at Villisca, Iowa. To them three daughters were born, Ferne Louise, wife of Harry K. Graham, Omaha, Nebraska, Corrine Eugenie, wife of James Carlisle and Dorothy Frances, wife of Clair Odern, both of Des Moines. He also has three grandchildren, Betty Jane, Joan, and Diane Lee Carlisle. He is also survived by four sisters, Mrs. Maude Walton of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Mrs. Dolly White of Missouri, Mrs. Geneva Williams of Missouri, and Mrs. Louise Shaw of Des Moines.
Mr. Crow was an active republican and took an active interest in public affairs, local, state, and national. He kept well posted on public men, was a good judge of human nature. He detested dishonesty in public men and measures and had the courage to speak his mind and question with others who spoke for public opinion or praise.
Mr. Crow was a respectable citizen and as such gathered many friends and acquaintances who enjoyed his individuality. He was inclined to be cooperative and had to be shown before he accepted any new idea or plan of procedure. His opinions as they appeared in his newspaper were well expressed, positive, and plain. He could go from a serious to gentile when so desired. He was a better writer than he was a printer, and only his restricted constituency made him to a certain extent another flower born to blush unseen; In business he showed the same definite honesty and integrity and as such was successful.
He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. On Sunday at 1 o'clock at the Methodist Church of whom he was a member, his many friends gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased and sympathy for his sorrowing family. Rev. C. H. Hiller, his pastor and friend compared his character and life in harmony with the Master. The music by a male quartette was a solemn and beautiful tribute to the occasion. The remains was conveyed to the cemetery in Villisca, in charge his brothers in Masonic fraternity, where the last tribute to a departed brother was consigned to the earth from which it came, amid the song of the lark and the awareness of spring. A Friend.
