ISABELLE (RUSSELL) CROXTON, 09 Sep 1806 - 14 Jan 1900

   Isabelle Russell Croxton was born in Westmoreland county, 
Penn., Sep. 9, 1806, and died at her home in Angola, Ind., 
Jan. 14, 1900, aged 94 years, 4 months and 5 days.
   Isaelle Russell was married to the Hon. Abram Croxton, of 
Columbiana county, Ohio, in 1830, and was the mother of nine 
children, of whom only four survive her, Mary J. Croxton, of 
New York City; W. G. Croxton, James L. Croxton and Mrs. 
Harriet I. Mattingly, of Angola, Ind.  Three of those who are 
dead:  Captain L. J. Croxton, Abram W. and Ellsworh W. 
Croxton, at the beginning of the Civil war, were quite well 
known in this county.  Her son Calvin died in infancy, and her 
daughter, Martha, who was the wife of Rev. M. M. Travis, died 
in Chenoa, Ill.  Mrs. Croxton's husband died in 1856, and is 
buried at Monroeville, Ohio, and soon after she went to Goshen 
and lived with her son, Captain Croxton, and after his death 
she moved to Angola, where she has since resided.  She was in 
many respects a remarkable woman, and retained her mental 
faculties until a comparatively recent date, but having met 
with a serious accident, she in her last days, was very much 
afflicted, and not able to enjoy the society of her friends as 
she had previously. 
   In early life she became a member of the Presbyterian 
church and lived a devoted member.  Funeral services were held 
at the home, conducted by Rev. P. E. Holp.  Burial at Goshen,
