Information: George Martin Crum, son of J. O. Crum, was born October 19th, 1890, and died May 19th, 1913, at 4 o'clock p.m.  He was converted in the spring and was received into the membership of the M. E. Church South, on Easter Sunday, April 11, 1909, and lived a faithful, consistent christian life until he sweetly fell asleep May 19th.  He was converted in a meeting held at Antioch Church by Rev. Fisher of the U. B. Church and myself.  He was one of the noblest young men I ever knew.  He taught in the public schools for several years, and was at the time pursuing his own studies with an aim at still higher attainments which he intended should fit him for the greatest usefulness he was destined to be in the world.  He set his mark high and pressed toward it.  He never would be unemployed, and even overtaxed his physical powers in order to achieve his designs.........We buried him with Christian honors in the Antioch Cemetery and the large concourse of people present indicated the popularity and esteem in which he was held.  The Grange, an Order to which he belonged, performed their beautiful ritualistic service at the grave.    H.
