Crain---In Angola, Sunday evening, June 4, 1882, Carrie     
E., wife of Dr. M. F. Crain, aged 28 years, 2 months and 
4 days.

   Carrie E., daughter of Dr. B. R. and Susan S. Gibson, 
was born in Pomfret, Vt., April 1, 1854, and came to 
Steuben county in 1866.  From 1875 to 1880 she was 
employed in the auditor's and recorder's offices.  June 
1, 1880, she was married to Dr. M. F. Crain.  In the 
following November her health began to fail and in July, 
1881, she went to Nora Springs, Iowa, hoping that a 
change would be beneficial.  In September she returned 
no better and her health gradually continued to fail 
until Friday evening last week, when she became much 
worse and declined very rapidly.  Notwithstanding her 
long illness she was at no time confined to her bed, but 
on Sunday, only a few hours before her death, was 
sitting up a portion of the time in an easy chair.  The 
funeral occurred yesterday from the residence, on Martha 
Street, Rev. J. J. Hickmott, pastor of the 
Congregational church officiating.
