Read More	A double funeral service was held Monday afternoon for George Gillham of St. Paul, who died Friday evening of a heart attack, and his wife, Mrs. Lucretia Gillham, who died Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Gillham lapsed into a coma shortly after learning of her husband's death and passed away about 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. She never regained consciousness. Both Mr. Gillham, 66, and Mrs. Gillham, 59 died in a St. Paul hospital. (Funeral details followed.) George Lewis Gillham was born the son of John R. Gillham and his wife Tena Weinhamer on a farm near Bosco, Illinois, on June 22, 1892. When he was three years of age he moved with his parents to Wolbach, Nebraska. Lucretia Alberta Crumrine Gillham was born the daughter of Warren Crumrine and his wife Arabelle Kelley at Greeley, Nebraska, on April 6, 1900. All of the years of her youth were spent in Greeley County, Nebraska, with the exception of three which were lived in the state of Kansas. The two of them were united in Holy Matrimony on June 2, 1917 at St. Paul, Nebraska. They spent the first years of their married life in Greeley County, Nebraska, where Mr. Gillham farmed. In 1934 the couple moved with their family to Wolbach, where Mr. Gillham operated a service station. In 1946 they moved to St. Paul, Nebraska, where they were to spend the remaining years of their lives. While living in St. Paul, Mr. Gillham was employed as a guard at the ordnance plant in Grand Island for several years. In the last few years he was a seed salesman. Three children were born in this union. They are: Mr. Harold Gillham, St. Paul, Nebraska; Mr. Joseph Gillham, Wolbach, Nebraska; Mr. Wayne Gillham, Grand Island, Nebraska. Mr. Gillham passed from this life at 8:45 p.m on April 10, 1959 at the age of 66 years, 8 months and 19 days. Mrs. Gillham passed from this life at 5:00 p.m. on April 11, 1959 at the age of 59 years and five days. Both passed to their eternal rest at the hospital in St. Paul, Nebraska. Mr. Gillham was preceded in death by his parents and by a sister, Mrs. Bertha Van Osdall. Mrs. Gillham was preceded in death by her parents and by two brothers, Mr. Frank Crumrine and Mr. Addison Crumrine. Together they were preceded in death by an infant grandson. Mr. and Mrs. Gillham leave behind their three children and five grandchildren. Mr. Gillham leaves behind four brothers and three sisters. These are: Mr. Chalie Gillham, Alda, Nebraska; Mr. De? Gillham, Ogallala, Nebraska; Mr. Jess Gillham, Grand Island, Nebraska; Mr. Walter Gillham (address unknown), Mrs. Addie Nestor of Spalding, Nebraska; Mrs. Cora Hodson of Oroville, California; Mrs. Nora James of San Diego, California. Mrs. Gillham leaves behind three brothers and five sisters. These are: Mr. Roy Crumrine of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Mr. George Crumrine, Grand Island, Nebraska; Mr. Ervin Crumrine, Greeley, Nebraska; Mrs. Nellie Pratt, Greeley, Nebraska; Mrs. Roy Cross, Jewell, Kansas; Mrs. Dan Wieser, St. Paul, Nebraska; Mrs. Lois Moore, Hastings, Nebraska; Mrs. Fred Nerly, Wolbach, Nebraska. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gillham were members of the Methodist Church for most of the years of their lives, and Mrs. Gillham served faithfully and fruitfully in the women's organization of the church. At death they were members of the Methodist Church in St. Paul, Nebraska. It is a great tribute to their faith that God granted their wish that death would not long separate Mr. and Mrs. Gillham. In life these two were especially devoted to one another. But their devotion was not a selfish devotion. Rather, it was given in service and love to their children and grandchildren. Their main concern in this earthly life was to see that their sons were well established in their own homes and making a good living. Their love for their children and grandchildren was responded to by an equal love for them by those children and grandchildren. They were well thought of by their friends and neighbors.
