She was a member of the Latter Day Saints church for twenty-five years or more. She was married to Dr. Thomas Croston on January 26, 1919, who preceded her to the other shore just 40 days ago. Mrs. Croston came of a large family. She was a woman of splendid ability, sympathetic and kind, especially to the poor and suffering. Wm. Newquist, of Chillicothe, Iowa, attended the funeral, a living monument of Mrs. Croston's noble work of charity. While living at the Kent home, newly arrived from Sweden, he was shot and received a whole charge of shots in his side. By Mrs. Croston's faithful watch, care and ministrations, he recovered. Funeral services were held at the Saints church at Lucas, on September 22. Elder E. B. Morgan preached the sermon and John T. Evans was in charge of the service. Thos. Hopkins and John T. Evans sang a duet, "Some Day" which was most effective. The cortege accompanied the remains to Rose Hill cemetery, where the body was placed by the side of Wm. Kent, her first husband
