Onaga Herald December 12, 1912
Wm. H. Crumbaker passed away at the home of his brother, A. J. Crumbaker, in this city Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock after a lingering illness. The cause of death was cancer of the stomach. Last summer he was taken ill and went to Excelsior Springs in August where he remained for some time in hopes that he might recover from what he thought was simply an attack of stomach trouble, but not getting and relief he went to Kansas City where he consulted physicians who notified him that he had cancer of the stomach. He remained there for awhile but the doctors could do him no good and nine weeks ago tonight he was brought home, the doctors stating at that time he could not live longer than ten days. He was taken immediately to the home of his brother where he has been confined to his bed since, patiently waiting until the final summons would relieve him of his suffering.
Deceased was born in Coschocton county, Ohio, on April 20, 1852, and died December 10, 1912, and was 60 years, 7 months and 20 days of age. He was the eldest son of Andrew J. and Elizabeth C. Crumbaker. The father died while in the Union army at Memphis, Tenn., on July 3, 1863, and the mother died in this city on February 14, 1899. One sister, Miss Mary Crumbaker, died January 23, 1855. two brothers, Andrew J. and Oliver P. both of this city, survive the brother.
The deceased moved with his parents from Ohio to Winterset, Madison county, Iowa, in the fall of 1856, and came to Kansas in 1880 and settled in Vienna township, near Onaga. Several years ago he gave up farm life and came to Onaga, since which time he has been engaged in feeding, buying, and shipping live stock. Part of the time he was in partnership with Charles Day, but of recent years he has been in business for himself. He was widely known through out this part of the state, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of intimate friends. He was of a quite disposition, but was an energetic and hard working man, frugal and sincerely honest business relations, and he is a man who will be greatly missed. He has been a member of Onaga Camp, Modern Woodman of America for about eighteen years and carried insurance in that order.
The funeral services will be held at the Congregational church this, Thursday afternoon, and will be conducted by Rev. E. M. Nunally, of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. L. O. Markham, of the Congregation church. The Woodman Camp will have charge of the service at the grave. Interment will be given in the Onaga cemetery.
