Crossman, Well Known Businessman, Died Suddenly Feb. 5 Death brought an end to an active life last Thursday night, when Arbie B. Crossman died at his home, at the age of 82. Mr. Crossman died suddenly shortly after he had retired for the night. For the past several weeks he had not been feeling well, and had remained at home. On the day of his death, however, he had appeared to be feeling much better. After he had gone to bed Mrs. Crossman spoke to him, and discovered that he had passed away. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, February 10, at the First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. L. Hume Ward of Mitchell officiated at the service, and burial was made in the Hillcrest cemetery. Pallbearers were Wayne McKown, Elmer, Boyd, E. B. Walker, Leroy Blanchard and Henry Goehring of Miller, and W. E. (Doc) Poley of Sioux Falls. A prominent business man of the community, Crossman established the hatchery which bears his name in 1935. Before that he had been engaged in hatchery work on his farm since 1908. The business continued to expand and in 1941 his son, Leland Crossman, became a partner in the firm. Mr. Crossman was actively engaged in the operation of the hatchery until his death. He was born June 3, 1876, at Plainview, Minn., the son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Crossman. He lived at Plainview until April 1884, when the family moved to a homestead in Hulbert township. Later they moved to what is still known as the Crossman farm, where he spent the greater part of his boyhood life. He attended school in Hulbert township, and in 1895, began teaching near Zell. He also taught in Hulbert and Whiteside townships, and later in Minnesota. He was married to Mable V. Fitch December 22, 1900 at Wolsey, where they made their home for two years, then moving to Hendricks, Minn., where he did trade work. In 19007, they moved back to the Wessington vicinity to a farm adjoining his parents’, where he still did trade work and farmed, until moving to Miller in 1935. He was always interested in community affairs, active in church work, and as a Sunday School teacher and 4-H leader. He joined the Methodist Church in Wessington as a young man, later transferred his membership to the Presbyterian Church at Miller. He was elected as an Elder and served for the past six years in that capacity. He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge and a charter member of the Miller Kiwanis Club. He was an avid reader and retained until the last a lively interest in current affairs. The Crossmans were the parents of four sons, one of whom, Bradley W., preceded his father in death. Surviving are his wife, three sons, Curwin E., Princeton, Minn., Don F. and Lee L. of Miller; one brother, Vernon, Wessington, and a sister, Mrs. Hortense Leyson, El Monte, Calif. There are also four grandchildren. His parents and two brothers also preceded him in death.
