CRABTREE, Mrs. John - {Wheeler Notes} Health of the vicinity is fair. The last death was that of Mrs. Crabtree, wife of the well known Rev. John Crabtree. She came to this country, bringing with her the dread disease of consumption of which she died. She had long been a member of the M. church, and was a pious and consistent member. The entire community tender their sympathies to the bereaved husband. [Fayetteville Democrat 7/22/87]
