CROOKS, QUINETTE, TURNER Died at his home on West Lincoln avenue, Sunday, August 25, Richard CROOKS, aged 83 years, all but eleven days. He died at 5:30 o'clock a.m. With the awakening of a new day he went to sleep like a tired child. It was just as the birds caroled the coming of the morning and just as the rosy fingers of the orb of day tinted the eastern sky with a sheen of glory. Surely a most fitting time for a true spirit to take its flight heavenward. After a long, busy and useful life he died as he had lived-honored, trusted and loved. Richard CROOKS was born on his father's farm in Robinson township, September 5, 1824. Here he was reared. After attending the public schools, he followed agricultural pursuits with success, and retired from active labor about fifteen years ago, he moved to McDonald where he was always interested in the welfare of the town. He was a member of the borough council when he paving of the streets was done, and in all his public services he acquitted himself well. Mr. CROOKS united with the Raccoon Presbyterian Church at Candor early in life. He was regular in his attendance and conscientious in his daily life. He abhorred anything that appeared like desecration of the Sabbath Day. He was elected an elder of the Candor Church but did not serve because of his innate modesty. But he served as a trustee and became such in the First Presbyterian Church of McDonald to which he transferred his membership when he came to reside in town. Mr. CROOKS ran the journey of life without crowding his neighbors or ignoring his fellow man. To the contrary, his path was marked with deeds of kindness and his presence was calculated to give cheer. And now that he sleeps, memory takes up the harp of life, and smiting the strings, finds that his virtues melt into music. So it ever is, when a life is nobly and divinely lived. Mr. CROOKS was married twice, his first wife being Miss Hannah WALKER. To this union two children were born, Andrew of Imperial and Henry, who died in Oakdale about three years ago. His second wife was Miss Francis WALKER, who survives him. To this later union two children were born, Arielle, wife of C. W. REEDER of Hughesville, Pa., and Frank, at home. Seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive. The funeral services were held from his late home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. P. JORDAN, and his nephew, Rev. Herbert HEZLEP of the Market Square Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, assisted by Rev. Dr. IRONS, Rev. Dr. ENGLISH, and Rev. Mr. JAMISON, the latter of Oakdale. Interment was made at Candor.
