Mr. Crossgrove was a very sturdy man and was seldom ill.
He was an indefatigable worker and just a week before his death spoke of what a good day's work he had done in the timber.
A day or two following this he became so ill he took to his bed and a doctor was called. It was found that he had passed through the fever stage of pneumonia and was very ill.
