Death of Mrs. Crocker
Mrs. Perlina Barnes Crocker, relict of Roswell Crocker, died in North Madison on Thursday, May 5th, at the residence of her son, John W. Crocker, aged 84 years. She was born in Becket, Massachusetts, September 5th, 1796. In 1815 her parents moved to Huntington county, New York. She was married January 22nd, 1817. During this year her husband and herself settled in Amherst, Lorain county, Ohio, where they remained until 1835, when they removed to Madison and settled upon the farm where she died. Their residence in Lorain county was marked by the various trials and privations that attend pioneer life. She passed many nights alone in her log cabin with her children, her husband being at work, with only a blanket for a door and the wolves howling outside. Mr. Crocker died in 1867, since which time she has resided with her son on the old homestead. Mrs. Crocker was quiet and unobtrusive in her manners, living at peace with her God and her fellow-men. She had been for nearly her whole life-time a member of the Congregational church. She took a deep interest in politics and current news, and so long as her health permitted read with avidity all the published speeches that came into her hands. Her death makes one less in the fast thinning ranks of those who transformed the wilderness of the Western Reserve into the prosperous and thickly settled counties of which it is now composed.
