• Notes

  Crittendon and Pansy bought 80 acres of land from his Uncle Daniel Owens and were living on this property when Daniel was found unconscious and was taken to their home for care until he died. Crittendon was a "Circuit Preacher," in addition to being a farmer. He would harvest the crops, and as soon as school was out they would take off on a tour of the community that might extend into Oklahoma and Texas. The same schedule was met, even when the family moved to California. Pansy was a school teacher at the Owens and Jones schools. She spoke of other schools where she taught in Ston County. In later years she became a preacher of the Pentecostal faith. The family moved to Butte county, California, with Walter and Kate Owens in 1922. They owned 24 acres in Thermal and 200 acres just below Marysville, where he ran a dairy. Crittendon would take the young calves back and forth between the two farms. He died 11 Oct., 1946, at Marysville, California, while on one of these transfer trips. He had to cross a railroad track at Sheridan, and a train crashed into his truck, killing him and destroying the truck, but the calves were not hurt. Pansy died 27 May, 1981, Colusa, California. They are both buried at Oroville, California.
