The Death Of Mrs. Critchett

The Death of Mrs. Critchett

The friends of the late Mrs. Elmira Critchett, who at one time resided in Ann Arbor, will be interested in what the Monroe Commercial says about her:

At El Paso, Tex., on Thursday of last week, of pneumonia, died Mrs. Almira Critchett, relict of the late Judge Otis Critchett. The remains were brought to Monroe for burial, the funeral being held at the M.E. church New Year's afternoon at 3 o'clock being conducted by Rev. J.E. Jacklon and Rev. W.S. Barnett. Mrs. Critchett's maiden name was Almira A. Warner, and she was born in Mooreville, Washtenaw county, 62 years ago. She married Judge Critchett in 1883, being a sister of Mr. Critchett's first wife. Judge Critchett died June 18, 1893, since which time Mrs. Critchett has traveled extensively. For the past two years she made her home at Los Angeles, Cal., but in September went to El Paso, Tex., where her only brother and three of her four sisters, as well as her two stepsons, Clyde and Addie, lived. She was not feeling well for two weeks previous to her death, but no serious symptoms developed until 26 hours before her demise. At the funeral her three stepsons, Clyde and Addie, of El Paso, and John, of Pictou, Nova Scotia, and her sister, Mrs. Dansenberg, of Ann Arbor, were present, as well as other relatives from out of the city, and a large number of friends, for during her 12 years of residence in this city Mrs. Critchett was universally beloved and admired for her sterling character and uprightness.
