Judge Samuel Green Crum, one of Miller County's most prominent and widely-known citizens, died at his home east of Olean November24th after an illness of three years. His decease marks the passing of a pioneer farmer, one who was not only well-versed in his occupation or profession as you might call it, but at the same time a man who took a keen and active interest in political, church, school and other public matters.
He was born May 13, 1857, in Moniteau County. His parents came to Missouri from Virginia a short time before the Civil War and settled on a farm north of California where they reared a family of 8 children, he being the 5th child. During his youth and early manhood he acquired what education he could obtain in the common schools, and then entered Prairie Home Institute.
After a more liberal education there he taught school for 8 years in Moniteau and adjoining counties and then engaged in farming which occupation he followed actively until his health failed about 3 years ago. Throughout the major portion of his life he manifested a keen interest in politics and other public affairs. In 1910 he was elected district judge of Miller County, re-elected in 1912 and again elected in 1918. He was a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows and other fraternal orders.
When a young man he identified himself with the church. For 25 years or more he has been a member of the Olean Christian Church, and for many years he has been a member of its official board, being an elder.
June 22, 1884, he united in marriage with Amanda Adelia Howard, to whom 6 sons were born, namely: John B. of Vandalia, present representative from Audrain County; William H., Wade and Samuel, farmers of near Olean; James of Fayette and George, assistant cashier of the Citizens Bank of Eldon.
He is survived by his widow, sons, two brothers, Hardin and Abe, two sisters, Mary and Susan, besides numerous other relatives and many friends.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at 11:00 o'clock at the Olean Christian Church. Judge Crum made a request that Eld. W.H. Scott of Eldon conduct these services and that his text be taken from 2 Timothy 4:1-8, which wish was carried out. Eld. Scott was assisted by Eld. A.L. Alexander, pastor of the Eldon Christian Church. Burial was in the Olean Cemetery.
