  • Notes 
    • The funeral for Celia Crawford was Saturday at 2 p.m., from the Superior Reformed Presbyterian Church. She died Jan. 15 at Grant, Neb.

      Celia Lois Crawford, the youngest of five children of William J. and Hannah McKeown Crawford, was born Jan. 24, 1886. She was born at the Crawford family home west of Beulah Church near Bostwick. She attended Antelope rural school and Nelson High School, then called Nelson college. As a young lady she attended Hastings Presbyterian College and taught rural school in Nuckolls County.

      With the tender solicitude of parents, Celia and her brother, Walter, assumed the responsibility of raising the four children of their sister, Zella. After the children were grown, the Crawfords moved to Loveland, Colo., where they lived many retirement years. Her health failed when she was in her 90s so she moved to a rest home in Grant, Neb., to be near her niece, Ruth.

      At an early age she united with the Reformed Presbyterian Church at Beulah. She was a faithful member of the Beulah Women's Missionary Society also.

      Miss Crawford received many cards, flowers and gifts at an open house honoring her on her 100th birthday. The most precious gift to her was a plaque from Ak-Sar-Ben, in recognition of owning a farm that had been in the family for 100 years. When she reminsced (sic) in her latter years, it was evident the farm had always been home to her.

      Preceding her in death were her parents; sister, Zella Moranville, and her twin sister who died in infancy; her brothers, Walter and Claude Crawford; her niece Esther Moranville; and nephews, Charles and Walter Moranville.

      Survivors include a niece, Mrs. Ed Tjaden (Ruth), Madrid, Neb., and many other relatives.

      A service was Friday at 10:30 a.m., from Golden Ours Rest Home Chapel, Grant, Neb., with the Rev. Harold Backus officiating.

      The Rev. Ralph Joseph officiated at the services Saturday. Burial was in the Beulah Cemetery, rural Superior. The Megrue-Price Funeral Home was in charge of the local arrangements.
