Following a long and painful illness of nearly a year from tuberculosis which slowly but steadily sapped his vital forces and against which medical skill and loving ministrations were powerless, Mr. Fred Craig gave up the battle yesterday morning at 5:30 o'clock at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Dorie Craig, No. 313 Willow street. All that tender and loving parents and brothers and sisters could do to lighten his burdens and restore him to health was done but without result, except to prolong his life for a time. He suffered much during his long illness but suffered without complaining. Several months ago he made a profession of faith and when death came he met it bravely and unafraid. Though not a member of the church, he signified more than once to Rev. R.C. Anderson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, that he had surrendered himself to the will of the Master and was prepared to go whenever the call came.
Deceased was in his twenty-fourth year, having been born September 15, 1886. He is survived by his parents, three brothers, William Ralph, John Henry and Robert Clyde and two sisters, Cora Lee and Ethel Bright.
The funeral was held from the late home, No. 313 Willow street, yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock, conducted by Rev. R.C. Anderson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. W.H. Reddish. Interment was in Oakwood cemetery.
