Mr. Crisman was born near Red Oak, Iowa in 1868 and with his family moved to Kansas and Nebraska where he lived until about 1895. At that time he moved to Green Ridge, Missouri, or as he often recalled, he “rode a bicycle from Nebraska to Missouri.” Mrs. Crisman and their son, Homer, came shortly after the arrival of Mr. Crisman. Farming was engaged in by Mr. Crisman for a few years prior to the purchase of the Green Ridge Local News, then owned by Harry Farr. During the 22 years Mr. Crisman lived in Green Ridge the family increased by five daughters and one son, Mr. Crisman was interested in community affairs and his newspaper became a medium to aid community development. At one time he helped organize and direct the community brass band. He was a member of the former Methodist Episcopal Church. He also belonged to several fraternal orders but took most active part in the Masonic order. On several occasions he was master of the local Masonic Lodge! . In 1914 he was recognized in a special way by being appointed District Deputy Grand lecturer in the St. Louis District of the Grand Lodge until the time of his death. One of his most cherished possessions was a beautiful watch appropriately inscribed and presented to him by the local lodge on December 25, 1911. Apart from his newspaper interests Mr. Crisman engaged in a number of enterprises. Together with George Hollenbeck he built the first grain elevator in Green Ridge. Both men later disposed of their interests in this project. Mr. Crisman and the late John Ridenour then were engaged in the real estate business for several years. By 1917 the family needs had developed to such an extent that another move seemed necessary. Mr. Crisman and his son, Homer purchased the county seat newspaper in Ordway, Colorado, and the family moved to that Colorado community. While in Ordway Mr. Crisman’s community leadership ability was recognized when he was elected to membership in the state legislature. Following the close of the First World War the Crismans disposed of their newspaper interests in Ordway. Shortly after this Mr. Crisman moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where he edited a weekly newspaper until the time of his retirement at the age of seventy five years. Mrs. Crisman died in 1956 and at this time Mr. Crisman moved to Denver, Colorado to be near his two daughters living there. Mr. Crisman had enjoyed exceptional good health until shortly before his death which resulted from cerebral hemorrhage September 16, 1958. Funeral services were conducted in Peublo, Colorado on Friday, September 19 and burial by the side of Mrs. Crisman was in Valhallo Cemetery. Mr. Crisman had kept an active, lively interest in the members of his family and was greatly beloved by each member. The occasion of his death brought the children of the family together for the first time in a long number of years. Mr. Crisman is survived by his seven children: The Reverend Homer C. Crisman, box 18, Lander Wyoming Grace Schoenen, 1027 Beleview Court, Seattle, WA Mrs. Estelle Johnson, 46 Woodlawn, Hitchcock, TX Mrs. Faye Poole, 1722 Randolf, Topeka, KS Mrs. Elvie Metcalf, 835 South Fillmore, Denver, Co. Lee Crisman, General Delivery, Pueblo, Co. Mr. Crisman is also survived by six grandchildren: Dr. Ronald Crisman, Missoula, Montana Margaret Ellen Wood, Hayes, Kansas Thomas Poole, Jr., Topeka, Kansas Nadine Cummings, Cheyenne, Wyoming Miss Ann Shaver Miss Susan Shaver, Denver, Colorado. There are also eight surviving great grand children". ---end--- [note: Mr. CRISMAN's wife was Minnie BUTTON b 1864 d 2 Aug 1956 Pueblo, CO. They are buried at Valhallo/ Imperial Mem Gardens, Pueblo, Pueblo, CO. Please contact me with info about this family. Thanks!]

I don't know if this is the James Edmonson you are looking for but maybe it will help you. James H. Edmundson, a well known and highly respected citizen died at his home in the Hickory Point neighborhood Thursday, September 21, 1911 at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 21 days. He was born in Knox county, Tenn., April 30 1837. He moved to Missouri in early childhood and has lived in Pettis county for fifty three years. He was married to Miss Nancy Calvert, Jan 16, 1873. To this union four children were born, Ella wife of R.J. Renfrow, Annie, wife of T.J. Pace and Rosie and Robert Edmundson. He united with the Hickory Point Baptist church at the age of 35 years and has lived a Christian life ever since. He loved to go to church to hear the gospel. So anxious was he to hear the word of God, that as he grew hard of hearing, he would sit near the pulpit in a chair. The funeral services were held at the Hickory Point church at 2 o'clcock Friday afternoon by Rev. Denton of Windsor. The large number of sorrowing friends who attended was an evidence of the hi! gh regard in which he was held in the community. The interment took place in the Hickory Point cemetery. Another good man has passed over the river of death unto the everlasting life of peace and happiness, but his memory and influence will live in our hearts through all time. He will be missed from the home and by many friends but the consolation of a reunion 'over there' is a blessed assurance. May the blessings of God rest on the bereaved family.
