Marion Traverse Crosser, the son of Samuel and Sarah Jane Traverse Crosser, was born December 2, 1896 in Grant Township, near Suther­land, Iowa. He was educated in area schools near his child­hood home and attended Sutherland High School. He served with the Army during World War I and then came back to the Sutherland area to farm.

He was united in marriage at Sioux City, Iowa to Clysta McGraw on June 10, 1922. The couple farmed for many years and then moved into Suth­erland in 1948. After moving to town, Marion began a shoe repair business that kept him active for many years. He was a member of the United Methodist Church of Sutherland, a fifty year mem­ber of the American Legion Post No. 152 and a member of the Abiff Lodge No 347 AF and AM, both of Sutherland, as well as the 42nd Rainbow Division since World War I.

He passed away at Vet­eran's Hospital in Omaha, where he had been a patient since March 13, 1975. He was 78 years old. Preceding him in death were his parents, his wife in 1965, one grandson, 2 brothers and one sister.

Left to cherish his memory are one son, Wayne, and his wife Karol Crosser of Corona, California; one daughter, Wilna, and her husband James Houseworth of Omaha, Ne­braska; three grandchildren and one great-grandson, as well as other relatives and friends.
