Obituary undated excerpts: "Funeral services for George Irvin Cribbs, 67; retired Pennsylvania Railroad Company employee and former Indiana county resident, whose death occurred Wednesday night at his home in Derry, were conducted at his late residence at 2:30 pm today in charge of the Rev. W. T. Robinson, minister of the Derry Methodist Episcopal Church...His death was caused by pneumonia, with which he was stricken last Sunday...He entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a brakeman on October 20, 1885. Fourteen months later he lost his left arm in the performance of his duties. On his recovery he was assigned as gateman at Homewood, in Pittsburgh. He was later transferred to Derry as a caller, in which capacity he served until May 22, 1918. On account of a shortage of car inspectors at that time, he was transferred to that work and a year later was made tool room attendant at Derry. For some years prior to his retirement under the pension regulations of the railroad company on January 1, 1930, he had been unable to perform active duties because of poor health. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Minnie (Madison) Cribbs; three sons Joseph M. Cribbs, Richard D. Cribbs, and Robert I. Cribbs, all of Derry; a daughter, Mrs. J. Eugene Dodds, of Derry; two brothers, Charles Cribbs and Albert Cribbs, both of Freeport; and two sisters, Mrs. Ida Altman of Chambersville, and Mrs. Jessie Clark of Butler." |
