Mrs. Grace Crumb Heckman, wife of Dr. Irvin Heckman, 1013 Harlem blvd, and principal of Garrison and Walker schools for many years, died this morning at 9 o'clock at her home following a lengthy illness.

Crumb, brothers, both of whom reside in this city, and several nephews and nieces. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon. Interment will be in Greenwood cemetery.
