Crow came to the home community if as a bolt from the clear sky. ''True, it was generally known that he had suffered an attack of Typhoid pneumonia, but with the report of his convalescence all apprehension ceased. On Wednesday a messago came advising of his relapse and with anxious heart Mr. and Mrs Crow turned their faces toward Buffalo. They reached the bedside on Friday morning and Saturday afternoon the wires flashed back the message "Guy is dead." Guy was born in Mapleton July 23, 1880, and passed this earthly life at Buffalo, N.Y., October 18, 1913. He is survived bv the father, mother, one brother and sister, this being the first link in the family circle to be broken. As a little fellow he was always hearty, jolly, good-hearted, fond of sports and fair play, a general favorite and designated by his young companions as a "good kid . As his boyhood passed, these atributes clung and upon this foundation developed the man, rugged, bright, clean, honest Guy, as we know him. After college his love of sports drew him in to the newspapor field and at the time of his death he was assistant sporting editor of the Buffalo Evening Times. He was also an advertising expert and Publicity Director. In connection with these he was also Coach of the Lafayette football eleven and assisted as physical director at the Y.M.C.A. Gymnasium. The story of his life is perhaps best told by a clipping from the Sunday morning edition of the Buffalo Courier as written by one of his newspaper associates. "Mr. Crow was educated in the public schools of Mapleton, and then went to Morningside College at Sioux City. He matriculated at Iowa State University and it was here he first exhibited that genius as a football player and coach, that later placed him in the front rank of gridiron stars. "From college he was graduated into newspaper work his first venture being on the Sioux City Daily News. Later he worked on the Des Moines Daily News. In 1911 he determined to see the old world and in company of his closest friend, George Markham, he toured, tramped and strolled through Ireland, Scotland, England and every nook and corner of Germany and France. While seeing Europe, he wrote sport stories, especially on pololand boxing, for papers in the United States. Direct from his eight months tour of Europe he came to Buffalo in November, 1911, where his first position was on The Courier. "While on the Courier his services as coach were obtained by the Lafayette high school. The record of the violet and white team while bandied by him testifies to his efficiency as a coach. It was invincible last year. He started this season with the promise of success, but was forced by illness to abandon his work. His business career was renown as a publicity director. He dictated the publicity of the fourth international congress of School Hygiene, the Elk's convention at Rochester, the Lancaster old home week and the motorboat end of the Perry centennial celebration. Mr. Crow was affectionately known to a host of friends as "Pat." Happily sunny of nature and with an inexhaustible store of good humor, he made light of the illness which attacked him six weeks ago. He always seemed to be in what athletes call "good condition," and no one suspected his sturdy frame would fall so easily a victim to fever. The crisis came early yesterday. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon he seemed to be better and asked his father for a paper saying he wanted to read the sporting news. He had glanced over the paper only a moment when his father heard him complain of the poor light. "Will you raise the shade, Dad?" he asked "The light seems to be poor in here." His father complied with his request and remained gazing out of the window, when a muffled cry came from his son. "Whaa's the matter with me, anyway?" queried Pat, and he died before his father could reach his side. On Monday morning at Lafayette, 1400 students assembled and laid aside the celebration of Saturdays gridiron victory to pay tribute to the man who as coach had made their victory possible. As clipped from the Buffalo Evening Times, Capt. C.K. Motion, principal of the institution paid the following tribute: A man who can come unheralded to a city of 500,000 people and make the friends that Guy A. Crow did, must have a character true and noble," said Principal Melen, "He exerted a pronounced influence over our boys. He helped to maintain our scholarship standard, always insisting that those participating in athletics hold fair average in their studies. Guy Crow put scholarship and character ahead of the mere winning of the game. It is sad that this fine, wholesome, Christian life should leave this school for we have lost a true loyal friend." The funeral was held in St. John's M.E. church, former pastor Rev. E.S. Johnson officiating. The ceremony at the grave was conducted by the members of Quarry Lodge, No. 404 AF & AM of which he was a member. Thus there has passed from our midst one of our most promising young men.
