Well-Known Corporation Worker Expires Suddenly This Forenoon.
This morning at about nine o'clock Alonzo Crawford, a well-known resident of this city, and a corporation hand, died suddenly at his home, 14 1/2 Myrtle avenue. He lived alone in part of the house on Myrtle avenue, the other half being occupied by Frank Hill and family. This morning, at about 8:30, he came to the door of communication between the two parts of the house and seemed to be suffering great pain. Mr. and Mrs. Hill assisted him back to bed and sent for a physician. Dr. L. G. Distler responded, and, on arriving at the house, was told that Mr. Crawford was sleeping. Mr. and Mrs. Hill having placed him upon the edge of the bed, he fell back and was apparently in a sound sleep. Dr. Distler's opinion is that death resulted from valvular disease of the heart.
Mr. Crawford was about sixty-five years of age and came to Middletown about twenty years ago from Sullivan county. For the past few years he had been employed in doing corporation work. He had lived separate from his wife for some time.
The body was first taken to the undertaking rooms of F. O. Rockafellow & Bro., being later removed to the charge of William T. Cornelius. Acting Assistant Coroner A. V. N. Powelson has the matter in charge.
Mr. Crawford had lived at the Myrtle avenue address but a short time and the Hills now but little concerning him. He had chosen to dwell and keep by himself. His wife survives, as do also the following children: Mrs. Carrie E. Lineburg, who was married at the last annual fair of the Orange County Agricultural Society, in this city; LeRoy, of the machinists' force at the O. & W.; James, employed by the H. C. Behme feed store, in this city, and Mrs. Frank Cudney, of Chicago. A sister of Mr. Crawford is Mrs. Irene Trowbridge, of Neeleytown.
He was a member of the Methodist Church at Wurtsboro and was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a veteran of the Civil War and was a member of the Gen. Lyon Post of this city.
His sudden taking away, for he was in the best of health on Thursday, is a great shock to his friends.
