  • Notes 
    • Crawford
      Walter Knox Crawford, son of William J. and Hannah (McKeown) Crawford, was born near Mediapolis, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1880, and passed from this early life Aug. 13, 1957, at the age of 76 years, 11 months and 3 days.
      When the boy was five years of age, the family moved to a farm near Superior, Nebraska. Here Walter spent the most of his active life, engaged in farming and stock-raising. In 1946, on account of failing health, he retired from farm work, and moved to Loveland, Colorado.
      In early manhood, he united with the Reformed Presbyterian (Scotch Covenanter) Church, but later on , he transferred his membership to the United Presbyterian Church.
      Mr. Crawford was a quiet and unassuming man, a kind an helpful friend and neighbor, faithful in the discharge of every duty. With the tender solicitude of a father he assumed responsibility for his sister’s four orphaned children. The latter part of his life was marked with weakness and suffering, but his affliction was borne with a patient resignation which told of a genuine faith in the sovereign wisdom and goodness of God.
      Those remaining to mourn Mr. Crawford’s passing are his sister, Celia Crawford, Loveland, Color.; two nephews and one niece, Charles C. Moranville, Sparks, Nevada, Walter C. Moranville, Arvada, Col., and Ruth (Moranville) Tjaden, Madrid, Neb.; also four grandnieces, four grandnephews, together with other relatives, neighbors and friends.
      The Superior Express, Superior, Nebraska. Thursday, 29 August 1957.
