The funeral of Thomas Crank Sr. was conducted Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock at the home 215 Lawrence street by Dr. N.H.D. Wilson, assisted by Dr. S.H. Templeman and Rev. E.F. Sawyer. The First Methodist Choir sang his three favorite hymns and the pall bearers were his sons, Thos. Crank Jr., Trannie Crank, F.A. Crank, J.T. Crank, Keeney Crank, and Lloyd Crank, and Edgar Williams and Caleb White.
Mr. Crank died Saturday at 8:05 p.m. He had been in failing health for a long time and was quite ill for the last six years. He was 76 years old and a native of Dare County, though he had made his home in this city for the last 28 years and was in the fish business all of his life.
He is survived by his wife and eight children, one daughter, Mrs. Edgar Wiliams, and seven sons: Thos. Crank Jr., F.A. Crank, J.T. Crank, Trannie Crank, Keeney Crank, and Lloyd Crank, all of this city, and Levy Crank of the United States Army; and one brother, William Crank of Norfolk.
