Obituary:         John Newton Crowe
Newspaper:        Unknown
Publication Date: Unknown

        Like a ship that's left its mooring
        And sails bravely out to sea
        So Someone Dear has sailed away
        In calm serenity;
        But thre's promis of greate joy
        Than Earth could have in store
        For God has planned a richer life
        Beyond the Unseen Shore.

     JOHN NEWTON CROWE was born to GEORGE W. and CATHERINE JANE CONDRA
   CROWE on Nov. 11, 1861, near Tompkinsville, Ky.  At the age of six years
   he and his parents came to Orange County, Indiana, where he continued to
   reside until one year ago.  For the past year he has lived in Washington
   County where he added many new names to his long list of friends.

      Grandpa, as he was better known by most people, was married Dec. 7,
   1882, to REBECCA ELIZABETH MORGAN.  Their companionship was destined to
   be short-lived, for she left him after they had been together only eight
   years.

      He continued to keep a home for their four children: CLINT, who was
   called in 1941; DELBERT and DELLA, twins, who remain to mourn his
   passing; and ELLA ELIZABETH, who stayed with him only one year.  Two
   unnamed babies had preceded his wife in death.

     In 1922, under to pastorate of Elder VOLNEY T. TRIMBLE, God found His
   way into Grandpa's heart at the Briner Springs Church of Christ.  Since
   that time, although he was not able to attend church regularly, he has
   been a very steady worker for God.

     For the past several years he has been at home with DELBERT and his
   family where he answered his Master's call Jan. 17, 1948, aged 86 years,
   two months and six days.

     Besides the twins, DELBERT and DELLA, he leaves one brother, HENRY C.
   CROWE, eight grand-children, eight great-grandchildren and many other
   relatives and friends.

     Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it
   is; that I may know how frail I am.

     Behold thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as
   nothing before thee; verily every man at his best states is altoghether
   vanity.

     And now, Lord, what wait I for?  My hope is in Thee.

     Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and
     I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
