I remem‘ber hearing her funeral sermon preached from the words “She hath done what she could,” and the preacher said they were the first words that came into his mind when he was asked to return for her fun- eral. The platform of the present United Church was full of ministers but if my memory holds good the preacher was the Rev. Mr. McCalâ€" lu-m. The Crosbys were all active memâ€" bers of the Methodist Church at Richmond Hill. The second Mrs. Isaac Crosby was Jane Linfoot, sis- ter of Mrs. John Sanderson. I have heard it said of Mrs. Par- ker Cros'by that she was found on the street by day or by night, on visits to the sick, in the days when the village was small and dark. Their son Isaac, when he left the big red brick store now owned 'by D. Hill & Co., moved to his father’s home where he improved the lawn and avenue of trees, and bricked the house making it much the same as it stands to-day the beautiful resi- dance of Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Angle. 'The Crasbys were outstanding peo- ple in Richmond Hill. In my earliest recollections of the family, Mr. and‘ Mrs. Parker Crosby lived at Crosby Hall, which was a white frame castle with towers and dome described rel cently in the “Old Liberal File.” Old residents have told me it was built by John Story, 31. architect of the village. She was the third Wife of one of our most highly respected citizens, the late Isaac Crosby, one of the early reeves of Richmond Hill. She was formerly Miss Hutcheson of Auâ€" rora. After the death of her husâ€" band, she and her only son Holmes moved to California where he is new manager of the Bank of America at San Pedro. (By F. M. Brown) Last week‘s Liberal contained an article copied from a California pap- er. It referred to Mrs. Amy Crosby, whose death occurred at San Pedro, 0:11., on Oct. 19th, 1936, as a native of York County. couple with a handsome basket of gold mums. Other guests were there from Kingston, Maple and Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Hadlow are in excel-l- ent health and- returned home to Kingston on Sunday.
