Mrs. Crandall had been a resident of this county all her life, having been born in the town of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY]. She lived a devoted and consistent Christian life. She was converted about 35 years ago, since which time she has been a member of the M.E. church. For many years she has been sick and not mingled much in society, but she manifested patience in suffering the will of God when laid aside from more active Christian duty. Her death was unexpected. she went to visit her daughter, wishing to be as near as possible to the meetings being held on South Hill, though not able to be at the church. While on this visit she fell a prey to her complicated maladies. But she was ready, and the death bed scene was one of victory and holy triumph, such as is seldom witnessed. She addressed her family with love and tenderness commending them to God. Sometime before her death those who watched by her bed thought she had gone, but revived again and said, "I have been over the river and have seen the children." referring to those who had died in childhood. Thus died one of the saints of God, showing the truth of the divine promise "In the evening time it shall be light."
Yes, she's gone, she is sleeping / Beneath the cold tomb, / cut down by the spoiler / In old ages' full bloom.
Ah sleeping in death / Beneath the cold sod, / But her spirit is resting / in the presence of god
Her mission is ended, / Her soul is at rest / In the mansions of Heaven, /The realms of the blest
In strains of rejoicing / She tunes her bright lyre, / And joins in full chorus / The angelic choir
Her anguish and pain / Forever have ceased, / From earth's dreary prison / Her spirit's released
And could she look down / From that blissful abode / And speak to us toiling / Through life's dreary road
She'd say dearest children / Weep not for me, / from sorrow and pain / Forever I'm free.
