She had kept the Sabbath in her father's family from her childhood, and much desired to live a Christian life.

DIED, at Livingston, Appanoose Co., Iowa, Nov. 22, 1864, of a fever, Mary A., wife of Johnson Crosby, late of Saratoga Co., N. Y., now of Livingston, Iowa. Her sickness lasted about two weeks. Her fever left her a few days before she died. Her body was weak, but her mind and hope was strong and firm in the gospel of truth, as cherished by the church to which she belonged. She leaves a husband and one child, as well as many friends, to mourn her loss.
