The community was greatly shocked yesterday afternoon when word was received from Hayti that Dr. B.D. Crowe, one of the prominent medical men there and a former resident of this city, died very suddenly about ? o'clock that afternoon.
Dr. Crowe practiced his profession many years in this city, where he was known to every citizen, almost, and the major portion of the residects of the county, removing to Hayti more than a year ago. He had been in ill health all along, but had complained of feeling bad since the afternoon of the day before, hence had stayed at his home all day Monday, and sitting on a davenport in the dining room when the end came, very unexpectedly to the family. It is presumed that his demise is due to a heart attack.
Funeral services will be held some time tomorrow afternoon, we ? though do not know the exact time. Members of the family at other ? have been summoned and all will arrive in time for the funeral with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. ? Prohaski, whose home is in Portand, Ore., and who will be unable to reach here in time. Aside from Mrs. Prohaski there are three other children in the family, Dr. Robert Latta Crowe of Stuttgart, Ark.; and Mrs. Myrtle Duncan, whose home is in Hayti. One brother, A.J. Crowe, lives near Hayti but recently has been spending some time with relatives in Tennessee, the former home of the family, but he is expected he will return in time for the funeral. Funeral services will be held at the home in Hayti, we are informed with Rev. W.H. Setzer in charge ? further that this definite arrangements have not been made so far as we can learn.
Dr. Crowe was rather elderly, being probably not less that three-score years of age, and for the past several years had not been in very robust health, due in part to an injury he received through a blow on the head several years ago. However, he had kept active in the practice of medicine and was conceded to be one of the best physicians in this section of the country.
In addition to the four children, the Doctor is survived by the widow and several grandchildren, and to all of these we join in extending the sincerest of condolence in their irreparable loss. Dr. Crowe was a big-hearted, jovial, whole-souled man, always kind and liberal and a friend to the unfortunate as well as to those upon whom fate had smiled. His passing will be deplored by the whole community, for he will be missed by all.

The funeral of B.D. Crowe was held last Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Hayti, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Duncan. Mrs. Duncan is a daughter of the deceased, and Mr. and Mrs. Crowe were making their home with their daughter and her family. The house was crowded with friends, who had come to pay their last respects to Dr. Crowe. The Reverends Foster and Setzer of this city were requested to speak the last words over the body, which they did in the sincerest way that was ever spoken of one who was so well-known as Dr. Crowe. They spoke of his many acts of kindness shown to hundreds in need or trouble, and his never failing response to the many calls for him no matter what hour the night, nor how bad the weather, and regardless of the financial circumstances of the party in need, Dr. Crowe was ever ready to go to them without a word of regret. His good deeds for the world will ever live on, and his going from our midst leaves many sad hearts. All this and many other kind thoughts of his good virtues were vividly brought out by these two speakers. The body was brought here immediately after the funeral to be laid to rest in the cemetery here.
