Helen Haight Crone
11 June 1834–10 December 1928
Helen Haight Crone was born at Casinovia, New York, June 11th, 1834, being 94 years, 5 months and 29 days when she passed away, December 10, 1928 at Altamont, Mo.
She, with her parents moved to Wyoming, Iowa and in the year 1856 she was united in marriage to William Crone who preceded her in death 18 years ago.
Mr. and Mrs Crone lived in the vicinity of Wyoming until 1878 when they cast their lot with the people of the great west, settling on a farm in the northern part of Jewell Co. Kansas. In the fall of 1910 they moved to Casey, Iowa to be near their son, where her husband passed away.
To this union six children were born, three dying in infancy. Geroge passed away in April 1906 and Walter in 1924. Frank still survives and also 16 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. She united with the M.E. church in early life. To know Grandmother was to love her as she was always thoughtful of others and consequently had a great many friends and the most of whom cherish a piece of needle work made by her hands, for she was always busy at something for some one else.
The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist Church, Rev. H. G. Langley in charge.
