• Notes

  The death of Alva Crane, 84, occurred at the H.O. Nelson home last evening, after a serious illness of many months. Part of this time, Mr. Crane was a patient in the Allen Memorial Hospital in El Dorado. Alva Crane will be greatly missed by his many friends in all circles of life. His life was a colorful one. As a young man he was a jockey and horse farmer, and a good one. His love for horses stayed with him his entire life. He was a wonderful man - a kind and indulgent father and grandfather. He was a custodian at the Prairie State Bank, until a few months ago when his health became too poor to allow him to work. Upon his birthday it was his custom to invite the bank officers and employees to an oyster supper. This event was always well attended and gave Mr. Crane a great deal of pleasure. Since the opening of the bank in 1918, Mr. Crane had never missed a day at his duties until illness prevented his remaining on the job any longer. Surviving is one son, James Raymond of Redlands, CA. A son, Herbert, died during the past year, a daughter, Jessie Counsil, died a number of years ago, and another son died in infancy. The Cranes reared their grandchildren, Margie Counsil of Washington DC, and Oran Counsil. Seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren also survive. His marriage to Elizabeth Gallagher occurred September 7, 1879. Before her death in 1930, the couple had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary together. Mr. Crane was a member of the Methodist Church. Funeral services will be held at the Dunsford Chapel Saturday at 4 p.m. with Rev. J.E. Robinson of the Methodist Church, in charge. Burial will be made in Kuster Cemetery. [1]
