Barbara E. Crawford, (nee Pfalzgraf) The Spirit of Democracy Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio, January 1928 There comes a time in every home when its occupants must experience the deep sadness and innumerable heartaches that accompany the grim reaper, Death, which in spite of kind treatment and all that willing hands can do thrusts its unwelcome sickle here and there and plucks from earth its chosen victims. Shortly after noon on January 9, 1928, our Heavenly Father in whose hand is held dominion over life and death, called to peaceful rest, the soul of Barbara Rubel Crawford (nee Pfalzgraf), her death being due to a hemorrhage. The deceased was born in Seneca Township, Monroe County, Ohio, on September 2, 1845, being at he time of her death 82 years, 3 months, and 10 days old. She was confirmed and joined the Evangelical church at St. John?s Middle Church at an early age, of which she remained a consistent member till her death. In 1865, she was united in marriage to Jacob Rubel, who preceded her to the Great Beyond in 1883. To this union were born five children, Mrs. Joseph Betts, of near Bucyrus, Ohio; L. D. Rubel, of Barnesville, Ohio; G. A. Rubel and Mrs. William Goodhart, of near Summerfield, Ohio and John Rubel who preceded her 14 years ago. In 1886, she was united in marriage to G. W. Crawford. To this union was born one daughter Mrs. C. F. Betts of the home. Besides the husband and children she is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Eberle, of Woodsfield; Mrs. Eva Christman of near Lewisville, Ohio; Mrs. Fred Keylor of Edwina, Ohio; Mrs. Christina Brownfield of near Antioch, Ohio; two brothers, Lewis Pfalzgraf of Rockport, West Virginia, and George Pfalzgraf of near Lewisville; 40 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren. Added to these are many more relatives and a host of friends to mourn her departure. Kindly and generous in hart she was beloved by everyone, denying herself to give to those in need. She was a mother to them all. Services were held at the home on Wednesday afternoon by the Reverend Weber of Miltonsburg, Ohio. After a last farewell the body was taken to Calais cemetery, Calais, Ohio where it was surrendered to the earth and consecrated to the last general resurrection when all those who sleep in Christ will rise in honor and glory. A precious one from us has gone A voice we love is stilled. A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. --B. D. R.
