OBITUARY
Garnett Crumpacker was born Nov. 22, 1829 in Clark
county, Ohio. Died Nov. 22, 1899, aged 70 years. Was
married to Mary A. Arehart, of Harding county, Ohio,
on the 29th day of June, 18, 1856. Into their union
were born seven children. He leaves a wife and five
children to mourn his loss, two of his children having
passed away before him. He joined the 45th O.V.I. at
Ridgeway, Ohio. He went to Ontario in 1862, and was
gone three years. He joined the Missionary Baptists
when a young man, some few years before he was
married. He was a faithful follower in the belief. He
preached to his comrades whenever it was convenient
for him. His daily life was a Christian lesson and
gave example to all who knew him.
He was a faithful attendant to our Sunday-school
and was teacher of the Bible class ever since the
Sunday school started, and that is two years ago. He
will be sadly missed. He was liked by everyone--always
had a smile and a pleasant, cheerful word for
everyone. He belonged to the G.A.R. post in West
Mansfield, Ohio. He was in Company I. Old Soldiers
served as pallbearers. His remains were laid to rest
in Tobacco cemetery on Sunday, Nov. 26, 1899, and a
large number of friends followed his remains to their
last resting place. A great many floral pieces were
given by friends.
He preached the gospel 36 years. Was an ordained
minister a part of that time. He moved from Mt.
Victory, Ohio, in 1829, to Edenville, Midland county,
Mich., where he resided, then moving to Hope township,
and afterwards moved to Tobacco township, Gladwin
county, living there five years. His last days with us
were full of fun and mirth. He ate a hearty supper and
retired early, and his sons on returning from church
notied heavy breathing. On going to him they tried to
rouse him, but he never showed signs of knowing them,
and soon was gone. The doctor said it was apopolexy..
