"The Loyalist", North Loup, Nebraska; Friday, November 2, 1923, p 1.

Arloiena Crandall Thorngate was born near Persia, Cattaraugus county, New York, May 24, 1846, and died at the home of her son, R. G. Thorngate, in this village Monday, October 29, 1923, age a little over seventy seven years and five months.

In her early girlhood her father's family moved to Dakota, Wisconsin. Here she grew to womanhood, and there on November 15, 1865, she was married to George Thorngate, who had been a soldier in the Civil War.

Not long after their marriage they moved to Linn county, Missouri, where they lived until the fall of 1878 when they moved to this place. And here had been her home all these years.

While living in Missouri there were born to them two sons, Ray of this place and Charles of Exeland, Wisconsin, who survive her. Uncle George died in 1891, since which time she had lived by herself and with her son Ray. When living in Missouri she was converted and became a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church near Brookfield. Upon her removal to this place she transferred her membership to the church at this place and always remained faithful to her church vows.

Some years ago she fell on a slippery walk and broke one of her legs at the hip joint. She never fully recovered from the effects, and always afterwards had to walk with a cane. This kept her closely confined to the house. She was naturally a very active woman and that she could not get about as usual was a source of great trial to her.

About a week ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis from which she did not recover, and from a short time after the stroke she was unconscious, not regaining consciousness before the visit of the death angel.

Of the family of nine children born in her father's family she is the last to answer the summons of the grim reaper.

Funeral services were held Wednesday forenoon at the house conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. L. Polan, and the body was laid to rest in the city of the dead, west of the village, which overlooks the valley in which her home has been all these many years.

And so another good woman has gone, one who did her part in the development of our valley. And so one by one the old settlers are laying down their burdens which are to be carried by those of a later generation.
