| Biography* | | Mrs. F. D. (Betty Lee Collins) Hale wrote, 9 Jan 1978, of her great-grandfather, Paul Joshua Crosby, whom she called "Grandpa Crosby:" He was not very tall, slender and walked with a cane. I remember being at Grandpa Crosby's when he died.... In later years I learned that Grandpa Crosby had sent for my father. Expecting to stay for only the day and for my mother to visit her Grandfather for a short time we all went along. When we arrived by wagon I remember a lot of people being there.... We were told that we would be going home late in the evening but as Grandpa Crosby's condition worsened we stayed. Grandpa Crosby had built a stand outside the house and under a pecan tree that stood very close, a place for airing the bedding as was custom at the time.... To keep us quiet and out from underfoot in the house we were put to bed with quilts on the stand. It was a big wooden post in the ground with chicken wire over the top. How excited we were, about six great-granddaughters spending the night out of doors together. Early the next day we were playing out in front of the house and across the road near the barn when Hazel Crosby Braddy rode up on a horse.... She asked my father about Grandpa Crosby and he told her he had just died.... When I heard my father and Hazel talking about Grandpa I realized that we would soon be going home and that in the future we would not make visits to Grandpa's as we had done. A child's sense of something missing or of great change but too young to realize the real loss.
