The following. taken from a recent issue of the Abbeville Press and Ban ner, will be read with interest by many people in Newberry: From the Houston, Texas Post, the Press and Banner copies the follow ing modest notice of the life, char acter, and death of Mrs. Crosson, the beloved wife of J..dge James M. Cros son, formerly of Newberry, S. C. A friend in the Post says: "Mrs. Helen Crosson, died at Woodville, Texas, November 20, 1904. She was in perfect health to the mo ment of her death and passed away free from pain and appeared to be sleeping. Before retiring she read to her husband the beautiful poem in the Houston Post of Sunday, November 20, entitled "Even This Shall Pass Away," and asked him to read it and put in his scrap book, and in less than three hours she had "passed away." A fine musician, the last thing she played on the day of her death was ,e of her favorites, "Nearer, My God. To Thee." She was the daugh of John Stobo and Elizabeth Pope James. She was born in Laurens, S. C., February 30, 1830, was married to Maj. J. M. Crosson, April 19, 1848, at the home of her uncle, Chief Justice O'Neall. of South Car olina. Major J. M. Crosson, in his eighty-first year, survives her. They lived and loved together fifty-six years, six months and one day. They came to Texas in 1857. She left four daughters and one son, all of Texas, viz: Mrs. Charles Slade, of Woodville; Mrs. T. S. Hill, wife of the mayor of Paris; Mrs. C. R. Miller, of 3505 Louisiana street, Houston; Mrs. C. L. McCartney, of Brownwood. and Judge T. T. Crosson, of Ballinger. She was a sister to Lieutenant Colo nel George S. James, who as General S. D. Lee says in his diary. fired the first shot on Fort Sumter and who was killed at Bognsboro Gap. She was a descendant of Lawrence Washington and Archibald Stobo. the first Presbyterian preacher in Char leston, S. C.. and was first cousin to Y. J. Pope, present chief justice of South Carolina. She and Major Crosson celebrated last year in Hous i. where they then lived, the fifty fifth anniversary of their marriage. Fifty-five years ago she joined the Presbyterian church in Newberry. S. C., and since that time has been a beautiful, consecrated Christion. Her life has been one of marked useful ness, imparting sunshine and gladness to others. She was a fond mother, devoted wife and exempLry Chris tian. At the time of her death she was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Houston. Major Crosson is a member of Dick Dowling camp. It was the good fortune of the edi tor of the Press and Banner tp live a year in the home of Col. James M. Crosson, at Newberry. In March of i856, Col. Crosson and Thos. P. Slider commenced the publication of "The Rising Sun," the motto of which paper being, "It Shines For All." This editor was employed in the office as printer and during that year he board ed in the home of Col. Crosson. The fact a young man is a boarder in the household gives him the best of op portunities for knowi g the character istics and idiosyncra es of his hosts. And thus it is that an old man of to day can testify to Lhe '0o 'bie qualities of head z"'d heart of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Croson. Born in the bet ter walks of life. re-ared in the shad ow of the church. brouight up under all the Christian influences, v wi edl ucation in the best of the literary in stitutions prepared them for living in of earth. The nobleness of their na tures was such that they had good will for all. For the great multitude wh, were beneath them they were rcady to help with the kindly word and the generous hand. For their peers, who were few. they were al ways glad to cheer onward and up ward in the great struggle of life. They were always ready to help on to perfection who sought the higher and better things. They were free from malice and envy and conscious of their own worth. they never sought to injure the feelings or the good name of any. They were jealous of none. Of course people in their sphere of living had an abhorrance of evil doing, but ',L-e the Great Physi cian, they were always ready to ad minister consolation. Their efforts were to raise up the fallen and to set. their feet in the better paths. In all of a year's close acquaintance we have no recollection of their ever 'liaving assailed the good name of any one To these good people is :he author of this testimonial indebt ed for guidance and inspiration. And in the conduct of the Press and Lan ner for forty years, the lessons of the good woman, who has just gone to the beautiful land, have never been forgotten or disregarded. Her idea was that profanity was sometimes causea by anger or other exciting circum stances, but that vulgarity was always cold blooded, offensive and inexcus able. She thought character was too sac red to be lightly assailed, and, while she condemned the wrong, she never consented to the assassination of character. The mind of the young printer was then in its formative state, and the lessons which these good people taught took hold of his nature. These matters are only mentioned I to show that sometimes a word, which the speaker may forget with the passing hour, may be far reach ing in its influence, and as lasting as the everlasting hills. Col. James M. Crosson was held in the higiest esteem by the people of Newberry county, where he lived. His genial nature and his generous heart made him friends of all. His fbility ard his education brot,ght him to the front rank.among the best men of Newberry. His acquirements and his nobleness of character made him not only a son of whom South Carolina has reason to be proud, btrt it n'yde him a friend whose counsels are held in grate&'l remen-berance by those who knew him best.
