"The Janesville Daily Gazette", Monday, June 2, 1924.
Milton - Mrs. A. R. Crandall died at her home in Milton Sunday at 3 a. m., death being due to heart trouble. Mrs. Crandall had been in poor health for a number of years.
Ellen Augusta Saunders, daughter of Deacon Truman Saunders and Phebe Wilcox Saunders, was born in Berlin, N. Y., Aug. 17, 1845, and was 78 years of age. She was the oldest of a family of six children. When she was seven years old, she moved west with her parents to West Hallock, Ill., and 10 years later, at the age of 17, she came to Milton, Wis., and entered Milton academy. While quite young, Miss Saunders showed a talent for music which was later encouraged and developed by study and teaching. While a student at Milton academy, she was always active in musical circles. She was a student of the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston, Mass. On Feb. 16, 1874, Miss Saunders was united in marriage to Albert Rogers Crandall at West Hallock, Ill. Immediately after their marriage they went to Lexington, Ky., where Mr. Crandall held the position of assistant director of the state geological survey, his work taking him all over the state. Twenty years later they moved to Milton, where they lived for five years, and then moved to Alfred, N. Y., where Mr. Crandall taught in the university at that place. In 1903 they again returned to Milton, where they have since made their home, and where Mr. Crandall taught in Milton college up until a few years ago.
Mrs. Crandall united with the Seventh Day Baptist church at West Hallock, Ill., at the age of thirteen. Later, her membership was transferred to the Milton Seventh Day Baptist church. She has been an active member of the Women's Missionary board.
Mr. and Mrs. Crandall had four children, one, a daughter, dying in infancy. Those surviving, together with Mr. Crandall, are Alberta Crandall of Milton, Ellen Crandall Place of Milwaukee, and William Truman Crandall, assistant professor in the agricultural extension department at Cornell university in New York.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, June 3, at 2:30 p. m. at the home. The Rev. Edwin Shaw of Milton will have charge of the services. Burial will be in the Milton Cemetery.
