Notes

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 113, No 25, p 598, Dec. 19, 1932.
Letitia Ann Smith Crouch, daughter of William Perry Smith and Sarah Roberts Smith, was born at Cumberland, Ind., March 1, 1859, and died at her home in Nortonville, Kan., on November 5, 1932.
On October 19, 1882, she was united in marriage to Ansel Crouch, who preceded her in death, July 19, 1926. To this union were born six children, two of whom - Homer and Julia - died in childhood.
Soon after her marriage she united with the South Hampton (West Hallock, Ill.) Seventh Day Baptist Church, where she was a loyal member until 1911 when the family moved to Nortonville and she joined the church there. She was a faithful member of this church at the time of her death.
She is survived by Ansel B. of Nortonville and Reta I. of Albuquerque, N. M., who as Mr. Crouch's motherless children grew up in her home and learned to know and love her as their mother; and by her four living children; Royal of Center Line, Mich.; Myrtle, wife of A. G. Saunders, Rapatee, Ill.; Grace, wife of Arthur Langworthy, and Alice, wife of Earl Stephan, both of Nortonville; and by a sister, Mrs. H. D. Burdick, and a brother, J. C. Smith, also of Nortonville; besides twenty grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Farewell services were conducted at the Seventh Day Baptist church on November 7, by Pastor Lester G. Osborn. Interment was made in the Nortonville cemetery, the committal services being in charge of the W. C. T. U. of which she had been an active member for years. L. G. O.
