You just received the notice of finding Handy and Nancy's obit. but I can't be so selfish as not to include the other obituary which was in that years minutes. They printed 2 families that year. Both a husband and wife for each family. Here is the other one. JAMES CROW was born in Roane Co., Tenn., Oct 19, 1825, professed a hope in Christ in 1865, joining the Primitive Baptist church at Sweeten's Cove soon after his conversion. He remained a member with that body till his removal to Arkansas., coming to Ark, in the ''70s. He put his letter into the Crooked Creed Church of the same faith, where he held his membership till his death, July 1, 1896. Always attending church promptly, he became on of its most valuable members, being clerk for a number of years and delegate to almost every association. He was married to Nancy Beane, Oct. 29, 1846, ever living a faithful husband and devoted father. He leaves several children and a host of friends to mourn his departure. NANCY CROW, wife of the beloved brother, Jas. Crow, was born in Marion Co., Tenn, June 20, 1828. Joining the church with her husband in 1865, she lived a true Christian life, always discharging her duty with alacrity and delight. thereby proving what she claimed. She departed this life in Jan. 1894, leaving a companion, several children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her absence.
