Mrs. Craig laid
To Rest In Thorn
Spring Cemetery
Sunday, November 14, at 12:30
p. m., marked the passing of another
of Pulaski's older citizens when
Mrs. Lucy Craig died at her home
in East Pulaski.
She was the daughter of Green
Parker and Sally Taylor Parker,
and was a native of Wythe county.
At an early age she married
Henry Craig of Pulaski County. He
preceded her to the grave seven
years ago, having been killed by a
train on the local yard. She is survived
by two brothers, James Parker
of Pulaski and William Parker,
who until recently has lived in Dub-
lin, and one sister, Mrs. Martha
Whitaker, of Pulaski. She leaves
also to mourn her loss, nine chil-
dren, Charles, Pierce, Romer and
John Craig of Dayton, Ohio; Ed-
ward, Luck, Glen Craig and Mrs.
Jennie McFall of Pulaski and Mrs.
Minnie Childress of West Virginia. —
She also leaves forty-nine grand-
children and twenty-five great-
grandchildren.
Mrs. Craig's death was due to
cancer and complications and
She had been very ill for the
past six months. Her death
was not unexpected to the
sorrowing friends and relatives
who had watched her silent
suffering for so long. During the
entire seige she was very patient,
enduring the pain without mur-
muring,
She was well loved by all who
knew her and has been "a good
mother"—faithful in her home
even to the end and loyal to her
many friends.
She has always been a true
Christian and has for years been
a member of the "Church of God."
The funeral was held in the Lee
Street church by the pastor, Tues-
day, November 16, at 2 p.m. Although
the day was unpleasant, a
huge crowd was present. Inter-
ment was made beside her husband
at the Thorn Spring cemetery. The
pall bearers were her grandsons, Paul,
William and Harry McFall;
Gary, Byrle and Julius Craig.
