FREDRICKSBURG NEWSPAPER, JULY 3, 1930.
As we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. Susan Craine which
occurred at her home here on Tuesday evening, July 1st, at the age of 81 years,
3 months, and 5 days. In her early
life she came with her parents to Iowa. On
November 12, 1863, she was united in marriage at New Hampton to John M. Craine. To this union 5
children were born, all who survive her. Eighteen
years ago they moved to their present home in Fredricksburg where her husband
preceeded her in death, March 27, 1915. Their
early married life was spent on a farm in Breamer County.
She leaves to mourn her loss the following children:
Mrs. Minnie Farnum, Mrs. Abbie O'Day, and Miss Ella Craine of
Fredricksburg, Mrs. Susan Pratt of Plainfield, Iowa, and Laurence Craine of
Randall, Minnesota, also other relatives and a host of friends.
A few years ago she had the misfortune to fall and break her hip which
necessitated her sitting down most of the time. Although a great sufferer she always met those who called on
her, with a pleasant smile and happy greeting, never complaining.
She had been failing for some time but in the last week had gone down
very fast until death relieved her suffering.
The funeral was held this (Thursday) afternoon at 2:30 at the home, Rev.
C.E. Brandt of Waverly officiating.
