The subject's grandfather, Adam Crouch, a native of Virginia, came to White County , Ill., in 1816, and in 1817 located in this county in the township which now bears his name. He was a farmer, a county commissioner, and, politically, a Democrat. He died on his farm in Crouch Township. The father, also a farmer in that township, was county judge nine years, and represented the county in the Legislature. He was a magistrate several years, county surveyor, and sergeant-at-arms in the last constitutional convention. He was a Democrat. In the late war he was quartermaster of the Sixtieth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Three of his six children are living: Adam, of Wayne County; our subject, and Hiram, deputy sheriff. He died January 12, 1884, and his wife died March 12, 1887. Our subject was reared to manhood on the old homestead, and secured a good education.

Proudfit, a native of Guernsey County, Ohio. Mary I., James A., Cloyd C., David P., Hiram C. and Lattia W. are their children. Mr. Crouch and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church.

He departed this life January 1, 1942, at his home near Blooming Grove Church at the age of 79 years, 9 months and 22 days.
His early manhood was spent in McLeansboro, where he attended the public
schools and graduated from the old McLeansboro College.
He was united in marriage to'Flora Echols Dec. 16, 1885. To this union four
children were born, A. W. Daily, of Peoria, ILL., Frank Daily of McLeansboro,
ILL., Mrs. W. H. Cullins of Mt. Vernon, ILL, and Mrs. James Rawls, who preceded

Garner in the year 1881 and united with Booming Grove Church, where his membership
remained until his death. He was devoted to his church, always being present
when his health would permit. He served; faithfully in the capacity of trustee
for the past several years. Mr. Daily's early life was spent working at his
father's mill in McLeansboro. Later he was engaged in the lumber business in
Wayne, Jefferson and Hamilton counties. After retiring from the lumber business
he resided on a farm ,northwest of McLeansboro ,where he took an active
interest in civic affairs, being elected as a member of the Board of Supervisors
of Hamilton county, and as school treasurer of South Crouch township, which
position he held at the time of his death.
Mr. Daily was a faithful and devoted husband and a kind and loving father, his
honesty and integrity being above reproach. His friends were numbered by those
who knew him. During the last two years of his life he endured much suffering
but he was patient and pleasant through it all, expressing his readiness to
meet his maker. Death brought this life to a successful and peaceful close, as
he passed quietly to his reward. Remember me as you pass by, As you are now so
once was I. As I am now you soon must be, Prepare for death and follow me.

would stand beside her father and start the songs for the church service. She
sang in the church choir for many years and at a recent revival her voice could
be heard from the congregational singing. When she grew to womanhood, with the
help of others, she solicited funds and the first organ was bought for the
church. She also helped organize the first W. M. S. for the Blooming Grove Church. For the past three years she had been in failing health, but could
always be seen at church services when it was at all possible for her to
attend.
Her Christian example of living set a fine standard of living for her
community. Her husband, Douglas Daily, one son A. W. Daily and one daughter
Myrtle Rawls preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn her passing one son
Frank Daily and one daughter Lurene Cullins, both of McLeansboro; two brothers
Harry Echols of Dahlgren and Bert Echols of West Frankfort; twelve
grandchildren, eighteen great grandchildren and two great- great grandchildren;

He was united in marriage to Nellie Ritcheson, in August, 1910, and to this union five children were born, two of whom have preceded him in death. He has suffered severely for some time, and did not know for what purpose he was here so long, as he was willing to go, and gave strong evidence that he would meet God in peace. Having known Jess, for some 30 years we always found him, good hearted and true to his friends. He leaves to mourn his departure, his companion, three children, mother and a number of brothers and sisters, and other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church in Dale. Conducted by Rev. C.M. Prince. The body was laid to rest in Digby Cemetery.
