The death occurred at he home in Debec, after three days of
illness of pneumonia, of Mrs. Richard Crabbe,Sr., in her 89th
year. She was a woman of gentle, kind disposition, devoting her
life to home and family.The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon from the church of St.Agnes in Debec, followed by a
large number of people, to pay their respects to one who had been
a life-long resident in their midst. Her life was best described
in the words of the text, chosen by Re. C. J. Mclaughlin: "She
was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very
much, neither was there anyone that spoke an ill word of her,
Judith V111, 8th." Her life he said, from the beginning was
a preparation for her last end, and she ever retained that
simplicity of faith in God so characteristic of the people of her
generation. Devoted to her family, home,and church, she had left
to all the example of an ideal wife and mother. Faithful in life,
she was faithful unto death. We speak, he said, of heroes and
heroines on the battle field, we speak of Judith, Esther and
Ruth, but are these not removed from the scenes of the world
strife and unknown, presiding over the sanctuary of our Christian
homes, mothers whose courage, devotedness and self-sacrifice
would equal that of our noblest heroines. The large concourse of
friends and relatives following her remains were , he said, the
best testimony of a devoted and well spent life. She is
survived by her age husband, six daughters and three sons: Mrs. B.
Lenehan, of Houlton; Mrs . F. A.Dugan, of Homesville; Mrs.
Jas. Kelly,of Lakeville; Mrs. James Dennin, of Maxwell; M.T.
