UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER

The work of removing the bodies of the father and mother of Mrs. Jere DAVIDSON, their two children and Edward A. THOMAS, the first husband of Mrs. Davidson from Kelly’s cemetery to a family lot in Woodland was completed last week. In view of the fact that the deceased were all known to the old settlers of this county, a word regarding them will be of interest.

Hugh CRAWFORD, father of Mrs. Davidson , was one of the first sheriffs of Lawrence Co. serving before the county seat was removed from Burlington. He was born Oct 18, 1812 and died Jan. 03, 1853, being killed by becoming entangled in a rope while handling a raft. His wife Frances DILLON Crawford, a sister of Stephen Dillon, of this county, died on Sep. 14, 1856, of typhoid fever. She was the daughter of Jesse and Rebecca Dillon. The two children of Hugh and Frances Crawford, Gerome and Franklin, aged 10 and 1 years respectively, both died in 1853, one in May and the other in July.

Edward A. Thomas, whose remains rest beside those of the Crawford family, was a promising young attorney who enlisted at the opening of the war, and was a Sergeant-Major in the 2nd. West Va. Cav. He was wounded in battle and died from the effects of his wounds July 26, 1864. His remains were brought to Ironton and interred in Kelly’s cemetery in January 1865.
