James - Susan Conner
Source: Crawfordsville Journal, Thursday, September 26, 1901
A good worthy member has been called from the Freedom church. Susan James was born in 1839, and at the early age of 12 years she united with the Baptist church. She lived a faithful and consistent member until the reaper of death came to her, September 17, 1901. It is useless to say she will be missed by her children and brothers and sisters in Christ, but our loss is her gain.
