Port Rowan: The death of an old and highly respected resident of this district occurred on Sunday evening, when Lorenzo Charles Cronkwright passed away in his 85th year, after a long illness.

He was the last surviving member of the family of the late Mary Brown and Charles Cronkwright and he was born in Houghton Township, where he lived until his marriage to Miss Anna Axford, when they went to South Walsingham to reside some 45 years ago. About a year ago the deceased moved to Sidney Acker's farm, a mile east of Port Rowan, where he passed away. He was an adherent of the Free Methodist Church at Walsingham.

Surviving are his widow and two children, Mrs. Harry Jewell of Vittoria and James Cronkwright at home; also four great grandchildren. Three sisters, Mrs. S. Long, Mrs. M. Davies and Mrs. J. Osborne and two brothers, William and Charles, all of Houghton, passed away a number of years ago.

The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Free Methodist Church in Walsingham, with the pastor, Rev. G. M. Powers, conducting the service. Interment was in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Walsingham. The pallbearers were Chauney Trickett, Ransom Chapman, John Winkworth, Clayton Moore, Joseph White and James White.

Hello, it is good to hear from you again and I am sorry that I didn't reply to you sooner but I don't seem to be getting a message from RootsWeb or Ancestry.com MB's anymore when someone replies to a posting even though the "Send me an e-mail when anyone replies to this message" box is checked off !!

I don't think that Charles Cronkwright Sr. ever lived in Indiana but he may have come to Ontario, Canada from the states of New York, Maine or Pennslyvania.

I tried to E-mail you something recently but the message returned, is your E-mail address working now and do you have connections to the various Cronkwright families in Ontario & Michigan ??

Best Regards from Gerald
