Lenox Time-Table --- Anna Elizabeth Cresswell was born April 17th, 1847, in Van Buren County, Iowa, where she resided with her parents until the summer of 1880, when she came to make her home with her brother in Adams County, Iowa. This has been her home up to the time of her departure from this life, which took place Sunday evening, November 4th, at 6 o’clock, being at the time of her death, 59 years, 8 months and 17 days of age.
Miss Cresswell was ever self denying, coming from her parent’s home---a young woman---to be a mother to the motherless children of her brother. To them she has been a mother in the truest sense of the word, her brother and his sons having first place in her heart always. She was a kind and gentle woman, loved and esteemed by all, a great favorite in the community, being always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in time of need, sympathetic and consoling in sorrow, an earnest and diligent believer in Jesus Christ, and patient and cheerful during her long sad affliction.
