Elbert Crouch^1,2,3,4,5,6

M, #12678, b. 2 January 1815, d. 21 April 1883

Parents

Father	Joseph Crouch, Jr. (b. 30 December 1791, d. after 1870)

Family: Mary Euin Melvin (b. 5 July 1826, d. 14 May 1865)

Son	John L. Crouch+ (b. 4 October 1860, d. 29 July 1931)
Daughter	Dicy Ella Crouch (b. about 1863, d. before 1879)

BASIC FACTS

Elbert Crouch was born on 2 January 1815 in Washington Co., Tennessee.⁷ He was born in 1817 in Tennessee.^1,8 He and Mary Euin Melvin were married on 10 August 1843 in Greene Co., Illinois.⁹ He and Amanda Jane Bacon were married on 7 June 1868 in Washington Co., Tennessee.¹⁰ He died on 21 April 1883, at age 68, in Benton Co., Arkansas.⁷ He was buried in Barron Cemetery, Bentonville, Benton Co., Arkansas.⁷

Elbert Crouch had reference number 12946. He was a Farmer and stock raiser (biography); farmer (1850 - 1880.)^2,3,4,6,5 He was enumerated on the census in Greene County, Illinois (1850 - 1880.) He resided in Washington Co., Tennessee (birth); Greene Co., Illinois (1843.)⁵ Elbert migrated to Illinois along with many others from East Tennessee. In the 1860 Census Elbert is living with wife Mary in Greene County, Illinois. Also shown in the census is Joseph Crouch. I believe that this is Joseph H. Crouch, son of James H. Crouch and Caroline Hunter.
Mary died on May 14, 1865 and is buried in Hermitage Cemetery, Greene County, Illinois. It appears that Elbert returned to Washington County, Tennessee and, on June 7, 1868, he married Amanda J. Bacon. (Amanda had previously been married to George A. J. Combs and the marriage record shows that Elbert Crouch married Amanda J. Combs.) Elbert and Amanda returned to Illinois. They are shown their in the 1870 census with three children. The following biography says that two are Elbert's and one is Amanda's..

Notes:
1) Edmond Bacon and second wife, Lavina "Vina" (Douglas) Short-Bacon.

4) Nicholas Keefauver's son, William Shelton Keefauver (1840 - 1914).
5) Elbert's second wife, Amanda Jane (Bacon) Combs-Crouch.

LETTER from Elbert Crouch (1815 - 1883) to Nicholas Keefauver (1807 - 1881), January 10, 1877

January the 10 1877
State of Illinois
Dear Uncle I seat myself to drop you a few [lines] to let you know that we are all well except bad colds. Mother has a bad foot.(1) It is the inflammation of the bone. You must excuse me for not writing sooner. I have good news to tell I am trying to live a better life then I have lived here before. I am going to join the Baptist Church. If you haven't made a start , I like to hear of you making a start. Married life is good in its place but it won't take a person to heaven. The winter has been very cold out here There have been several snows here. The deepest snow was about five inches deep. Wheat looks well considering the weather. I will give you the prices of wheat is worth 75 cts, corn 50 cts, hogs is six dollars a hundred gross. Money matters is not as flourishing as they have been. Amanda(2) says tell Aunt Dicy(3) she would like to be there and talk with them for I have a heap to tell them. Tell Abe & Debby(4), too, I want them to write to me. Tell A Uriah & Nan(5) I want them to write. Tell Sam & Delilah Martin(6) to write & Henry and Sarah(7) to write to us. Tell Jessie Jukie [or Julie] and Nan to write to us.

So I will come to a close by ????? you to write soon.
Elbert Crouch &
Amanda Crouch To
Nicholas & Dicy Keefhaver.

Notes:
1) I believe this is the first information we have that Elizabeth (Keefauver) Crouch moved to Illinois and was still alive in 1877.
2) Amanda Jane Bacon, second wife of Elbert Crouch. Amanda Jane Bacon and Nancy Dicy Bacon were second cousins, once removed.
3) Nicholas Keefauver was married to Nancy Dicy "Dicy" Bacon.
4) Abraham and Debra (Bacon) Keefauver. Abe was Nicholas and Dicy's son.
5) I believe Elbert is referring to Uriah Hunt and Nancy (Keefauver) Squibb. Nancy was Nicholas and Dicy's daughter.
6) Samuel Patton and Delilah Catherine (Keefauver) Martin. Delilah was Nicholas and Dicy's daughter.
7) Henry Lee and Sarah Jane (Walker) Keefauver. Henry was Nicholas and Dicy's son.
8) Probably Saraphina (Shipley) Bacon, widow of Thomas H. Bacon, Jr.
9) Amon and Lucinda (Bacon) Hale, parents of John G. Hale, first husband of Edna Arlena "Lena" Combs. Lucinda Bacon and Nancy Dicy Bacon were second cousins, once removed.

A. J. CROUCH
BORN
Jan. 2, 1815
DIED
Apr. 21, 1883
AGED
74y. 3m. 19d. There are three children living with Elbert and Amanda in the 1870 Census. I am guessing that John is probably John L. Crouch, son of Elbert and Mary. He is probably closer to ten years old than the three years shown in the census. Ella is probably Dicy E. Crouch, daughter of Elbert and Mary. Edgar is probably Edna A. Combs, daughter of Amanda and George Combs.

BASIC FACTS

Elizabeth E.

Elizabeth E. Crouch had reference number 12952. She was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1850); Macoupin County, Illinois (1860); Sacramento County, California (1870, 1880.) The will of Joseph Crouch named his children and identified daughter Elizabeth as Elizabeth Sherfey. Newland DeVault speculated, based on an 1860 Census entry, that Elizabeth might have married a John Sherfy. There was an error in his transcription of the census record. Even so, neither of the Elizabeths in this census record are our Elizabeth Crouch. LDS records show that Elizabeth Crouch married Andrew Sherfey on 13 September 1843 in Jonesborough, Washington County, Tennessee.

Of this union ten children were born, three of whom passed on in childhood, or early youth; seven, five sons and two daughters remain, all with families of their own.

OBITUARY - Girard, Macoupin Co., Illinois, July 23, 1894

Mother Kitzmiller, one of Girard's Earliest Settlers, Peacefully Passes Beyond Life's Troubles, and now Sleeps in the "Silent City" Beside Loved Ones who have gone before. A gloom of sorrow came over our citizens Friday morning as the Baptist church bell pealed forth the death warning upon the still morning air notifying the people that Mother Mary C. Kitzmiller, the wife of our esteemed neighbor and citizen, Rev. M. V. Kitzmiller, had been called to her haven of rest by the all wise creator and preserver of the universe.
Mother Kitzmiller having lived in our community for over 38 years, was known far and near, and had a host of friends, who deeply sympathize with the husband and bereaved family in the loss of a dear wife and mother. She had been ailing for some weeks, suffering from flux and a combination of diseases which was beyond medical skill to check. Thus she fell peacefully asleep in the arms of her Saviour Friday evening, July 20th, 1894, surrounded by husband and children, to sleep the sleep that knows no waking. Her funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the Baptist church, which she had worshipped in these many years. Dr. J. Buckley, of Surtcleff College, Alton, preached an appropriate sermon, assisted by the pastor of the church, Rev. Wiseman. The church was filled to overflowing, even the yard being filled with neighbors and friends of the deceased who were anxious to pay a tribute of respect to the dead whom they had loved in life. After the services at the church the remains were followed to Girard cemetery by one of the largest funeral processions ever witnessed in this city, and there laid to rest in mother earth. Friends of the deceased covered the grave with floral tributes in token of the love and esteem in which she was held by all who knew her.
Mary C. Kitzmiller, Age 66 years and 26 days. Where the bright headwaters of the beautiful Tennessee come singing down the mountain side, in full view of the loftiest domes east of the Rockies, with their silent grandeur leading every Christian heart to a holier worship of nature's God. There in the sweet sunny land of Eastern Tennessee, in Washington County, on the 24th day of June, 1828, little
Mary came to gladden the home of Joseph and Elizabeth Crouch. It was favorable to the child's future that the family into which God sent her to be a light, enjoyed no small degree of esteem in the community where they lived. The father for a long term of years was intrusted with official duties which he performed with much credit to himself and honor to his home; and while in that mountain home the rule of love to fellow man was inculcated; love to God was not forgotten. The home was Christian, and the family, together with a large connection by the same name, constituted the working force of several Baptist churches in the county. On the 29th day of April, 1847, Mary CROUCH became the wife of Rev. M.V. Kitzmiller. For nearly 48 years they have hand in hand walked together in love. Of this union ten children were born, three of whom have passed on before in childhood, or early youth; seven, five sons and two daughters, remain, all with families of their own. These, with the husband and father, all with a good hope in Jesus, bide the time until they too shall hear the message, "'Tis enough, come up higher."
To speak of the life and labors of Sister Kitzmiller, is to put a tax upon words which we feel reluctant to impose. In her home she was a queen, wearing the rich and pure ornaments of meekness and love, and called by husband and children alike by the sweet and fitting name "mother." The rich perfume of that name and life can never be absent from the lives of those who knew her in her home. In society the same adornment of a quiet spirit was hers, and the place she won in the hearts of all is better told by the presence of the large company than by words. But the biography is told briefly and best by saying, "she was a Christian." In the fall of 1849, upon a profession of her faith in Jesus, she was by her husband baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church, at Buffalo Ridge, near the old home in Tennessee. She being the first person baptized by him. In 1856 they moved with their family to this [unreadable]. The anxious look and sincerest inquiry of hundreds of our citizens as her life lay trembling in a glance, attests the fact that in love her hands had ministered to them in hours of trial, and her lips had blossomed with the comforting words of God's promises. The fact also that for more than 30 years her husband was a pastor of the Baptist church is a tribute of the wisdom and the worth of both the living and the dead. Her last illness, which ended with the day's ending Friday, July 20th, was borne by her as all other ills of life had been borne, with a patience born of a faith in Him who doeth all things well. Too much can not be said in honor of pioneer preachers, who in early days endured many hardships that the story of Jesus might be told to the new settlers on the plains of Illinois. But we here pay tribute of praise to the Godly wives who stayed at home and made numberless sacrifices and endured untold fears, for when coronation day shall come, He, who has kept account of all these things shall place upon the brow of her who sleeps in the grave a crown which in its golden sheen shall be equal to any worn by those who have stood at the sacred desk. Until then, dear mother in Israel, sleep sweetly in Him who was your stay in life, your hope in death, and shall be your song of praise forever and ever.

Mary Catherine died in Bowie, Cochise County, Arizona. Her death certificate says her body was returned to Palmyra, Illinois for burial. My guess is that she is buried in the Range Cemetery. Her husband, mother and two infant children are also buried there. We visited the Range Cemetery in November of 2012 but did not find a stone for Mary Catherine.
