Then Mrs. Crain walked to a chair and fell over dead. The body was taken to Rose’s. Mrs. Crain had made a close companion of Tike. She had had the Poodle since a previous pet, Miss Muffett, a Chihuahua, died two years ago. Each Gave Her Hug The long-time teacher hadn’t missed a school day in her classroom since 1948. She found time for various other interests too. She was active in Shannondale Presbyterian Church, Ossoli United Daughters of the Confederacy and Daughters of the American Revolution. She came here with her late parents from Lexington, Ky., in 1921. Mrs. Crain was ever thinking up some pleasant surprise which kept her small pupils endeared to her. One of the last such events was the Valentine Party she gave them this year. Mrs. Crain visited her first-graders parents regularly. She kept her classroom bright and gay with homemade decorations. At the end of the day her little boys and girls would line up and each give teacher a farewell hug before starting for home. The Knoxville News-Sentinel, Knoxville, Tennessee.
