Crump died Monday morning January 23, 1922 at the home of his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Aston, a few miles north of Spur, his remains being interred Tuesday in Spur Cemetery.B.F. Crump had been in failing health for several years. Last year he was forced to retire from active farming life, purchasing a home in Crosbyton where he was making his home at the time of his death. He was a good citizen, a true Westerner, loyal to friends, country and home. He did a liberal share in the development progress of the West, and in furhering the advancement of the world gave one son to the war. A golden crown in the Great Beyond awaits such men as B.F. Crump.
