Obituary of Reuben Crall, published in Bucyrus newspaper at the time of his death, from Crall 100th Reunion book:
"It is seldom that one person spends 80 years of his life in one community, but the death near Sulphur Springs of Reuben Crall removes from that neighborhood a man who passed that record a few years ago. It removes, too, a man who had devoted every hour of his 89 years to the all that man was intended to be. Those who knew Reuben Crall know that his every act and his every word was an act or a word of kindness, of understanding and of sympathy. If he could not speak well of anyone he remained silent. If he could not do a good deed toward someone he did nothing. He lived the Golden Rule. Home was his world and next to home came his friends, his neighbors, his church associates and his acquaintances, each sharing alike his gentle character. He opened and closed each day with prayer, not alone for himself and family, but for all others regardless of all against him. However gloomy a situation may have been Mr. Crall always found solace for those involved and passed it on in a manner that solicited the greatest respect. he cared not for fortune and fame, but sought only peace and contentment. Through his advanced years he kept himself well posted on all current subjects with a mind broad enough to accept the new, but not cast aside entirely the old. It was our privilege to know him as few did outside of his family. It is through that long friendship that prompts the conclusion that Liberty township has lost one of its finest citizens."
