Norwich Sun, April 17, 1908

South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY]:  At the home of his son, Dr. J.M.

Dr. Crumb was born in the town of Preston [Chenango Co., NY], 63 years ago.  His wife was Miss Amelia G. Janes, a Preston girl.  To them were born two children.  Mary E., wife of Dr. J. Perry Horle, and Dr. J. Mott Crumb of South Otselic.  Dr. Crumb was a member of county district and state medical societies.  he was a member, past master and past secretary of South Otselic lodge No. 659, F.&A.M. Norwich commandery, No. 46, K.T. Lake Ontario Consistory No. 12, A.A.S.R. and of Cascadilla lodge, I.O.O.F. of which he was past grand.  He was also a member of J.E. Parce Post, no. 456, GA.R. and a past commander of that body and was a delegate from the state body to several  National G.A.R. Encampments. Funeral services will be held from the home of his son, Dr. J. Mott Crumb in this village Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock.  Burial will be in charge of the South Otselic Masonic lodge.
