Read More	Thursday December 7, 1905 The Marion Sentinel John C. Crew was born near Barnesville, in Belmont county, Ohio, September 12, 1841, and died in Marion, Iowa, December 3, 1905, aged 64 years 2 months and 22 days. He was the son of James and Sarah Crew, and was one of a family of nine sons and three daughters. Of this large family there now remain but three sons and two daughters. All the remainder are gone to their long home. Mr. Crew came west first in 1864, staying but a short time. Returning to Ohio, he was married February 2, 1865, to Miss Laura J. Orrison of the same county in which he was born. In the fall of 1865 he and his wife came west permanently, and settled on a farm near Viola, Linn county, Iowa. From there they moved to a farm north of Marion, where they remained until they came to Marion, about fourteen years ago, where he died as above recorded. He was the father of six children, five sons and one daughter--James Delbert, J. Harlan, Arthur E., George S., Herbert P., and Ada I. Smith, all of whom are living and present, except J. Harlan, who is in Tacoma, Wash., and could not reach here for the funeral. Brother Crew's parents were of the Friend's Communion. He remained in the faith of his parents until his marriage. About thirty-three years ago, after what is known as the Lambert Meeting, a great revival, he joined the M.E. church, and remained a conspicuous and faithful member till his death. There was not an office of the church, which a layman could fill, but what he had well filled. He had been class leader, Sunday school superintendent, trustee, steward, and practically all the time he had resided in Marion he had been a member of the official board of this church, giving to the church the benefit of his wife and conservative counsels, and was deeply concerned for the church's welfare. For several years he had been one of the ushers here, and for some time had been chairman of the usher committee, appointed by the official board. Every Sunday found him in his place, both morning and evening. He was so considerate, and knew the people so well, that he will be greatly missed from his place in the services of this church. No man could be a better husband and father than John C. Crew. Naturally of a very even temper, and full of sympathy and kindness, his home life was certainly model. Always cheerful, and keeping himself, he let his light shine indeed in his home, as well as in his community. A good citizen, a faithful friend, a kind and gentle neighbor, a trusted Christian has gone to his account. T.M.E.
