A picnic was held in Crawford county each year,
generally toward the end of August for any and
all folks to attend and enjoy a day of food and
fellowship. There were games, speeches, food and
music to help all enjoy the day.
One of the events which took place each year was the reading, by the secretary, of a list of folks that had passed away since the previous year's picnic. The listing was read to the gathering and then given to the newspaper so it could be published. The list does not include death dates nor is it in alphabetical order. The names are listed in order of death, beginning from one picnic and continuing to the next. |
