December 3, 1848, the decreased became a member of the Church of Christ and has ever since lived an exemplary Christian life. The following comes from one of his former pastors, "I have known Brother Crissinger for over twenty years. A more cheerful Christian it has never been my lot to meet. He has had much in life to discourage him but he refused to be discouraged. He always kept his face heavenward and was always ready to talk for the Lord anywhere and everywhere that occasion demanded, but better still he was always ready to work for the Lord. He had the missionary spirit. He attended many of our missionary conventions and took a prominent part. His private benevolence was great and did much good that no one except himself, the preacher and God, knew anything about. It was a joy to entertain him in the family; he made all cheerful and none could be gloomy in his presence. In his home life he was all that could be desired. He did not boast of his Christian life, but he lived it. Wherever there was sickness there he would be found. He was patriotic, always true to his country. He stood for temperance always and everywhere. He often said to me that if I preached his funeral he wanted me to preach a temperance sermon. Those who knew him best loved him most. I have found him true in every way. God will reward him for his labors. Such a life is worth a great deal to the church, to the world, and to all humanity. He was the elder of the church for many years. He magnified his office." Such are the words of one who knew the deceased as perhaps no other man has known him. Deceased leaves two sisters, three brothers, two sons and two grandchildren, this side the river of death. He was a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, a good Odd Fellow, a good husband, a good father, a good grandfather and above all a Christian. He died in the Lord, he rests from his labors and his works follow him.
