Died, January 19, 1888, at her home in Jefferson township, 2 1/2 miles northwest of Birdseye, Elizabeth Crook, aged 82 years, 4 months and 7 days.
Elizabeth (Brown) Crook was born in Cumberland County, PA, September 12, 1805, of German parents. In 1816 she moved with her parents to Harrison County, Ohio, and in 1821 to Bartholomew County, IN, where her father, who was a United Brethern(sic) Minister, soon after died, and the family then moved to Floyd County, IN, where she was united in marriage with a young pioneer, John H. Crook, June 17, 1824, by David Stillings, J.P.
They resided in Floyd County on a farm, and once in New Albany until December 2, 1838, when they moved to Dubois County, where they have resided ever since. They began life poor, but by untiring industry, frugality and economy, they accumulated a comfortable living.
Aunt "Betsey(sic)," as she was familiarly called, will be missed from the community in which she lived so long. Although considered a little eccentric she always had a pleasant word and salutation for all, was a loving mother, a beloved grandmother and a good neighbor. She leaves an aged husband, by whom she had nine children - four boys and five girls. One daughter and one son died in childhood's sunny days. The second son, Jeremiah, died at Carleton*(sic), near New Orleans, August 16, 1863.
Two sons and two daughters live in Dubois County; one daughter in Orange County and the other daughter in Marion County, this state. She had fifty-eight grandchildren, of whom forty-two are living, fifty great-grandchildren, of whom forty-two are living.
She had nearly always enjoyed good health until the last few years, and she did her housework up the evening she passed from this troublesome world.
Her remains were interred at the Crook graveyard Sunday, the 22nd, where several friends gathered to pay the last respect to an aged mother.
Of her father's family of eight children (four girls and four boys) only two are left, one brother, William Brown, of Fountain County, this state, and Susan Hodgin(sic), of Salem, Washington County, this state.
**Carrollton is a historic neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, it is the part of Uptown New Orleans farthest upriver while still being easily accessible to the French Quarter. It was historically a separate town, laid out in 1833 and incorporated on March 10, 1845. Carrollton was annexed by New Orleans in 1874 (becoming the city's 16th and 17th Wards), but it has long retained some elements of distinct identity.
