Obituary of Charles A. Crooks
Washington Herald, Washington C.H ., Ohio, Friday, March 2, 1917, Volume 32, No. 52, page 4
"Death Claims Chas. A. Crooks" "It was a great shock to the community to learn shortly before noon Friday of the death of Mr. Charles A. Crooks well known business man of this city of the age of 58 years. About a month ago, Mr. Crooks succumbed to an attack of the grippe which developed into pneumonia. For several days he had been better and was hopeful of getting out soon so that the end came with great unexpectedness. ….Mr. Crooks devoted many years of his life to teaching throughout the county and for some time was principal of the East Ead school. He brought the same conscientiousness to his school work that was characteristic of his every effort. He also engaged extensively in mercantile business and at the time of his death was the proprietor of a grocery store on the corner of E. Market and Forest Streets. Mr. Crooks had no lodge affiliations but was deeply devoted to his church, The First Presbyterian, and active in work of the Brotherhood Class. Mr. Crooks is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Bertha Gardner, one sister, Miss Belle Crooks, and one brother, Mr. W. L. Crooks, of New Martinsburg, who have the utmost sympathy in their loss. Funeral services will be held Monday beginning at ten o'clock at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Gage officiating. Burial will follow in the Limes Cemetery between Greenfield and New Martinsburg.
