- Married January 11, 1894, by M.J. Sanders, Justice, Mr. Douglas A. Craft to Miss Annie Upp. May they prosper is the wish of the Tribune.
A copy of the following unidentified newspaper article was found in the Lowell Public Library's clipping files:
- Douglass A. Craft, the seventh son of Thomas and Lucinda Forsha-Craft, was born at Orchard Grove, Lake Co., Ind., Dec 25, 1861 and died April 18, 1902, from a gun wound. His life has been spent in and near this place.
In 1894 he was married to Miss Anna Upp, of Knox Co., Ind. To their home five children, three girls and two boys have come. These all survive. Mr. Craft was an industrious farmer when able to do his work, and was generally successful in his undertakings. He was a kind and gentle father, and his loss to his family will be an unusually bitter one. His loss is mourned by his wife and children, five brothers, two sisters, and a large number of relatives and friends.
The funeral occurred from the Orchard Grove school house Sunday, April 20, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E.D. Smith, pastor of the Methodist church. It was largely attended. The choir from the Disciple church in Lowell furnished appropriate music.
