Obituary, from FindAGrave:

A Reprint from "The Champion"- 3-21-1923:

The remains of Lloyd Crawford buried at Shelbyville Sunday afternoon. Being brought from Haynesville, La., the day before where he died in a hospital.

Mr. Crawford was working in the Smackover oil field and was injured in an accident and was carried to the hospital for treatment. It is said that he sustained a fall and a pipe penetrated the thigh from which blood poison set up and which caused his death.
He was reared in the Shelbyville community being a son of Poly Crawford. He is survived by his wife and seven children, and many other relatives.

The family moved to some point near the oil fields last fall. Mr. Crawford was a splendid citizen and his death will be regretted by his many friends and relatives.

The following is funished by a friend.

"Mr. Lloyd Crawford was born in Shelby county, the 23'd of March 1880. He was con verted and united with the church in young manhood, thus heeding the admonition of the Wiseman when he said, "Remember now the days of thy creator in the days of thy youth." He was an honest and hard working man. He looked well to his household while adverse circumstances prohibited the accumulation of very much of this world's goods, yet he is to be praised for honesty, and for the tenderness with which he cared for his family, then let us think like Lazarus of old, he has been transported to Abraham's bosom.

He was married December 21, 1902 to Miss Sallie Willey. To this union was born seven children, all living and working in the oil fields.

After being hurt he was taken to a sanitarium where he stayed for about nine days. The death coming on the 17'th of March, 1923.

It seems that his death was untimely, but we know that god works all things to the best to those who love Him. So dear friends rely on the strong arm of Christ our Saviour and trust in Him and He will bring it to pass.

The funeral services was held at Shelbyville, interment in Shelbyville cemetary.

The pallbearers were W.B. Beck, W.County. Windham, Eugene Caldwell, R.B. Smith, Bert Morrison, and J.M. Green.
