Crosby, Catherine Elizabeth Anderson - Mrs C.E. Crosby, after an illness extending over many months, was called to her reward Saturday morning. Her suffering had been intense for many weeks, but she bore it with great fortitude, and she waited patiently for the Kiss of the Death Angel, realizing that after her work was done here she would enter that paradise where there is no sickness or death, and where sorrow is unknown. Mother Crosby lived a long and useful life and her good deeds will long be remembered. She was ever ready to minister to those in distress and was one of the kindliest neighbors it was ever our good fortune to have. Peace to her ashes and glory to her soul is the earnest wish of all who knew her. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the M.E. church, conducted by her pastor, Rev Douglass. The church was crowded with sorrowing friends, and the casket containing the mortal remains of this good woman was banked high with beautiful flowers. Interment was in Memory cemetery.

Catherine Elizabeth Anderson, daughter of Johnathan and Julia Anderson, was born in Perry Co., Ohio, November 14th, 1833 and died at the home of her sister, Mrs Ella Camp, in New Market, Ia., January 19, 1918, age 84 years, 2 months and 5 days.

In her girlhood she was converted at a little log church in Ohio, and joined the M.E. church and lived a beautiful, consistant, christian life, always going about doing good in the name of him who said, "In as much as Ye have done it unto one of the least of these, Ye have done it unto me." All who have had the privilege of knowing her will remember the loving smile and kindly word with which she greeted everyone. It can be truly said of her to know her was to love her.

She was married in Ohio to Edward Crosby on October 19, 1854. To this union was born five children, William of Villisca, Cyrus of College Springs, David who died in 1912, Calvin of Casper, Wyoming, and a daughter, Rena Belle, who died at the age of two and one half years.

They moved to Henry county, Iowa, in 1867, locating near Wayland. They then moved to Page county, Iowa, in 1886, locating on a farm east of Shambaugh where she continued to reside until her husbands death in 1902.

She leaves to mourn her loss three sons, two brothers, Daniel of Nebraska, William of New Market, and three sisters, Mrs Allen, Mrs Oglesbee and Mrs Camp, all of New Market, who with the sons and friends have so tenderly cared for her in her last sickness. She also leaves 12 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympanty of all who know them in their sad bereavement. We realize how insufficient human sympathy is when we think of their loss, of the vacant chair in the home, the voice they will never hear again as they sit around the family circle, but in this time of sorrow we can only point them to the Divine one, who will enable us to find consolation in the hope we have that if we take her example as our guide we will meet her in the happy home whcih will be one unbroken family around the throne of God. After a long and useful life death claimed her, and in the triumph of a living faith she passed from earth with its labors to heaven and its reward only to shine a brighter light on the other shore.
