- 1931 obituary, 19 Dec 1931 “-SUDDEN DEATH -- Mr. William R Craswell of North St. Elenaors, died very suddenly on Wednesday afternoon at his home. He was out in the barn when he took a weak turn. Neighbors carried him to the house and the doctor was sent for but he passed away before the doctor arrived. He was a native of North St. Eleanors and was the son of William Rufus Creswell. He was 67 years of age and had lived all his life in the district and had a well kept farm at the extreme north end of St. Eleanors. He was a quiet, genial fellow and well liked. He was married twice. His first wife was a Miss Cannon, of St. Eleanors and his second wife, who is left to mourn, was formerly Miss Adams, of O’Leary. One child, Robert, is also left: also a brother, John, in Alberta and one sister, Mrs. Atkins of Maine, USA to whom sympathy is extended. The funeral takes place today at one o’clock.-S.”
