CRIPPEN, MRS. ADA A.
Mrs. Ada A. Crippen died at her home in Roseville July 13, 1923, after a long illness of rheumatism. All that medical skill could offer, with the best of care from those near and dear to her were given to her during the three years of intense suffering which confined her to her bed, but all this failed to break the bands of the disease and she bore her affliction with patience as only one who receives strength from the Great Burden Bearer can. She was born August 20, 1854, in Delmar, the daughter of Augustus and Aurilla Doud Redfield. Her early life was spent at the home of her parents and her education from the school near her home. While yet young she took up her work as a teacher and taught school until Dec. 17, 1879, when she was united in marriage to Osmer Crippen, a young farmer of sterling qualities, who passed away some years ago, leaving his companion with the children who had been born into their home during their happy years of married life which had been spent in Rutland. The children, three boys and one daughter, all live in Roseville-Eugene, Augustus, Orey and Florence at home. One brother, Charles C. Redfield, survives. Mrs. Crippen was a member of the Baptist Church and was always ready to help in its behalf as long as her health permitted. In the passing away of this member the Community has lost a friend and neighbor and all who knew her join in giving sympathy to the family in their hour of sorrow. The funeral services were held at the family home Monday, July 16, Rev. Barrett, her former pastor, officiated. The floral offerings, the number in attendance, the autos for the accommodation of all, spoke of the esteem in which the deceased was held. Appropriate music was rendered by a trio composed of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilcox and Ella Mae Brace. Burial in the family plot in Roseville cemetery.
