OBITUARY from 1906
Mr. John Crawford was born near Galivants Ferry, SC Nov. 10, 1850 & died Oct. 9, 1906 near Bucksville, SC (where he worked at the sawmill). He had been in feeble health for a long time, being scarcely able to work for the support of his family, although he did what he could as his physical condition would permit. For some weeks he was confined to the house. His sickness was long & distressing, but he was sustained by the everlasting arms which was underneath him. He leaves a wife, 3 sons (Arthur Shepard, John R., Edward "Dock" Crawford) & 2 daughters (Exa May & Inez Crawford) to mourn their loss. While they deeply feel their loss they are assured by the blessed promises of Jesus that he is now at rest in that land bright and fair in the city of many mansions.
He was married (about 1883) to Miss Lou Collins of Galivants Ferry (formerly of Ariel, Marion, SC) & made a loving husband & kind father. He was converted in 1891 & has lived a Christian life ever since, although he had crosses & trials with severe illnesses in his family, all he bore with Christian fortitude.
Shall I linger at the river
Waiting for those I love,
Yes, you too, may shortly follow,
To that city far above.
