Civil War Veteran
Enlisted on 12/2/1862 as a Private. On 12/2/1862 he mustered into "B" Co. 10th Indiana Infantry. He was discharged on 7/10/1863.
The death of David B. Crain at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T. T. Green, 224 west Penn street, at 6:30 Thursday morning brought to a close a somewhat remarkable case. Mr, Crain was taken sick early in October, 1910, with locomoter ataxis. A month later he lapsed in unconsciousness and during the long thirteen months following he never again knew a conscious moment. The machinery of life ran slowly down. Having always lived a good life, his vitality was great and he hung to life tenaciously. But all things come to an end and David B. Crain has gone to join the companion of his earlier manhood.
David Brown Crain was born in Montgomery, Ohio, near Cincinnati, June 10, 1826, and was therefore past 85 years old at the time of his death. He lived in that vicinity the first twenty-five years of his life, learning the wagon maker's trade, at which he worked until he came to Illinois in 1863.
He was united in marriage with Miss Mary Catherine Stewart at Carthage, Ohio, July 8, 1847, and they lived together happily for thirty-eight years, when she passed away on their wedding anniversary, in 1885, and is buried in Floral Hill.
They removed to Mace, Montgomery county, Ohio, in 1851, where Mr. Crain worked at his trade until the war broke out. He answered his country's call for the hundred days' service, but did not get home for nine months. In 1864, he and his family removed to Stockland Township, Iroquois county, where he farmed until 1872, coming to Hoopeston at that time. They lived on south Second avenue until Mrs. Crain's death.
Mr. Crain has for the most part since that time made his home with his daughter, Mrs. T. T. Green.
He was the father of seven children, all of whom are living, as follows: Olivia J., widow of Spencer Shankland, John S. Crain, Henrietta, widow of George C. Smith, Charles B. Crain, Ella E., wife of T. T. Green, William G. Crain, and Theodore A. Crain, thirty grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren.
Mr. Crain became a member of the Presbyterian church when a young man in Ohio, and has always lived an earnest consistent Christian life. He was truly good man, a pillar in the church and a member of the community who could always be depended upon to be on the right side of all public questions.
The sympathy of a large circle of friends is with the bereaved family.
