Read More	George Rogers Crandall, 99 years of age, of Holdrege, Nebraska, formerly of rural Wilcox, died Sunday, June 14, 2020, at Holdrege Memorial Homes in Holdrege. George was born on June 10, 1921, at his grandparent’s home in rural Phelps County, Nebraska, near Wilcox, the younger of two children, to Bert and Mae (Karschner) Crandall. He attended Wilcox Public School, and graduated with the class of 1938. Following graduation, George attended Nebraska Wesleyan University. He met Ruby Wycoff at Wesleyan in 1939 and on November 2, 1940, they were united in marriage at the Methodist Parsonage in Sidney, Iowa. George transferred to Nebraska Ag-College his senior year and rented a farm West of Wilcox, where the couple later moved. This union was blessed with four children: Georgene, Robert, Richard and James. In 1945, during WWII, George was reclassified 1A & rode the train to Denver with other prospective recruits for a physical. After being rejected due to a heart murmur, George moved his family to Lexington to be near his father-in-law, a doctor. While there, he worked for the Nebraska Extension Service overseeing workers and farmed sugar beets on both sides of the Union Pacific Railroad near Lexington, Nebraska. After two years the family moved back to Wilcox and he resumed farming. He was the Weed Supervisor for Phelps County, and was appointed adjuster for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Program. George also worked for the ASCS Program. In the 1960s, George began working for the First National Bank in Wilcox. In September 2009, following an illness, Ruby moved to Northridge Assisted Living in Kearney, while George remained on the farm. On November 2, 2011, the couple celebrated their 71st Wedding Anniversary. On May 30, 2012, Ruby preceded George in death. George enjoyed fishing, spending time with his family, genealogy, and carpentry. He enjoyed different building projects including: a home for his family at Lexington, miscellaneous projects on the farm, and helping build cabins at Johnson Lake. In 1993, the family received the Aksarben Pioneer Farm Award. He was a member of the Wilcox United Methodist Church, the Wilcox Lions Club, and the Grange Association, which met at Sacramento; and was active with Farm Bureau and the Boy Scouts, as Scout Master.
