| Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ April 26, 1957, p. 1 Services Saturday For John V. Crone Christian Science services will be held in Wickenburg Chapel at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) for John V. Crone who died in Community Hospital early Wednesday morning. Masonic services will be held at the grave in Wickenburg Cemetery. Mr. Crone was born January 11, 1883, in Oklahoma. Mr. Crone was a commercial wood carver in Los Angeles for 25 years before he retired in Wickenburg in 1951 where he and Mrs. Crone purchased the Frank Beaver home at 153 North Lincoln Street. Since coming here, he carved 71 horses, each from a different kind of wood and each in a different pose and the group is considered to be a collector's item. As his health failed, he switched from carving to cutting and polishing stones as a hobby. In her early days, Mrs. Crone was the first woman railroad station agent west of the Rockies. Survivors include the widow; three daughters, Mrs. Eula Wirtz of Grants Pass, Ore., Mrs. Opal Gonzales of Continental Divide, N.M., and Mrs. Iona Saulsberry of Santa Rosa, Calif.; four sons, Roy of Sandy, Ore., J. A. of Santa Rosa, Calif., T. V. of Phoenix, Guy of Torrance, Calif., and J. C. of Houck, Ariz. Living brothers and sisters are Claude Crone, Wichita Falls, Tex.; Elbert Crone, Quemado, N.M.; Mrs. Leola Dickerson and Mrs. Althea Hurst, Albuquerque, N.M.; and Mrs. Pearl McMeanamy and Mrs. Maude Hare of Sentinel, Okla.
