Andrew Jackson Crowe, born in Dyer county, Newbern, Tenn., February 5, 1851, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C.S. Kirkpatrick, on the Braggadocio road, at the age of 81 years, 11 months and 5 days. Death was due to advanced years, he having recently had an attack of influenza and his weakened condition not standing the ravages of the disease.
Deceased married Miss Callie King in about the year 1870, who preceded him in death December 3, 1911. To this union was born Mrs. C.S. Kirkpatrick, with whom he made his home after the death of his wife, and J.A. Crowe, of Hayti.
Mr. and Mrs. Crowe moved to Pemiscot county in 1895, when it was practically a wilderness and Caruthersville was a small village, and he watched with interest the progress and growth of the city. In his younger days he spent a great deal of time hunting and fishing, deriving much pleasure even last summer, as he fished two or three times a week; however, in later years he did have to give up hunting as his eyesight became too impaired for a good marksman.
He was a highly respected gentleman and was quite wed to his Democratic party and took much interest in the last election, one of his last joys perhaps being to see the Democratic party come into power again. He held a public office, that of justice of the peace, for a number of years and was referred to as "Squire Crowe" by his friends. He was not satisfied to retire entirely when be became enfeebled but was able to do his "chores" until he took to his bed of affliction.
Mr. Crowe professed faith in Christ, when a very young man and although he never allied himself with any particular church he was a devout Baptist in belief. He had the fine habit of reading his Bible daily and his other habits conformed to that of the highest type of moral and Christian gentleman.
He is survived by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, his daughter, and J.A. Crowe, a son, and Mrs. Arthur Cook, Mrs. William Hayden and Messrs. Holland and John Bennett Crowe, grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
He was the brother of the late Dr. BD. Crowe of this city.
