Excerpt from Life of Rev. A Crooks, A. M: Written and Compiled by His Wife
This memoir has been prepared, for the most part, by her whose journey for nearly twenty-two years has been at his side. That her deepest interest has entwined around the objects of his toils and fortunes, it is eminently fitting that to these pages should be given that careful and truth ful expression of the facts of history, which her intimacy with him will warrant.
