Obituary for Charles Robert Crutcher

Charley Crutcher Dead

Charley Crutcher, aged 86, son of Ambrose Crutcher, a well known Monroe County pioneer, died at the home of his son, John Crutcher, south of Paris, the old Crutcher home, Tuesday morning and the remains were buried at Cedar Grove Wednesday afternoon, with brief services at the grave by Rev, Williard Reavis. Deceased is survived by his wife and five children, Bruce, Loyd, John, Mrs. Chester Vance and Mrs. Laura Lea.

Ambrose Crutcher, father of Charley Crutcher, is buried at Paris. He was famous in Monroe County annals as the originator of the round, long, dark green watermelon, and the seeds for it were in demand. In those days nobody would buy anything but a Crutcher melon.

Charley Crutcher himself was one of the most loveable and loyal men we ever knew in our lives. He took life good naturedly and raised a fine family of boys and girls to do him honor in his old age. Seven years of his early life were spent in mining (actually it was in ranching) near Winnemuca, Nevada, and it was there that he was crippled in one leg. He could talk interestingly of his experiences in those days of the late seventies in the far west. Monroe County has lost a good man and a good citizen, but at 86 we must all go that route. The Mercury's sympathies go out to the bereaved family.
