The home place of John and Agnes Crum was a half mile beyond the Olive Hill toward Fulda.
In the early 1920s, John Crum was told by a doctor in Stark County that he had an "enlarged spleen." (His daughter Leona thinks that "enlarged spleen" was a euphemism for cancer.) He was sent to Mt. Carmel in Columbus for an operation. Doctors advised him that even with the operation, he would likely live for only a year or so. Their prediction proved to be correct.
John Crum's death certificate states that the primary cause of death was "lobar pneumonia, also central." Contributing factors were pericarditis and "spleen (illeg.)" The illegible word looks something like "musovial."
