"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 35, No 36, p 3, Sep. 4, 1879. In Milton, Rock Co., Wis., Aug. 8th, 1879, of consumption, M. Wells Crumb, in the 55th year of his age. Bro. Crumb was born in DeRuyter, Madison Co., N. Y., Aug. 13th, 1824. He embraced Christ as his Savior at the age of twelve years, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place. He removed to Milton some twenty-four years since, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of this place, taking an active and interested part in the interests of the church, where he remained a worth member until called by the Master to fields more glorious and sublime. He enjoyed much of the Master's presence through his protracted sickness. One time he said to me that he had enjoyed much, as he thought, of the Lord's presence when well and engaged in life's duties; "but O, how much more now in my sickness, of the heavenly fullness." He repeatedly said he was ready to go or stay, just as the Master willed, trusting all in Christ, through whose merits alone he hoped for eternal life at the right hand of the Father. He left a large circle of friends, as was witnessed by the congregation on the day of his burial, who gathered in testimony of their respect to him, and a devoted wife and dutiful son who constituted the pride of his life, and on whom he leaned while earth faded from his vision.
