Bio
John Andrew Crouch was born December 29, 1839, died June 7, 1918, and was buried June 8, 1918, in the Richland Springs Cemetery, He married January 27, 1867, to Miss Martha A. Barnett, who is still living. To this couple were born nine children, five boys and four girls, of whom eight are still living. All were present at the funeral except Ude and Emmett, who are unable to attend on account of being unable to make connections. Politically John was a democrat, religiously a Baptist ever since 1874. John enlisted in Company E, 15th Texas Cavalry during the Civil War, and fought in seven battles, under General Bragg and Hood. The last battles this volunteer fought were at Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. He was in the charge at Franklin when General Claburn was shot down on the top of the fort and captured the garrison, which was one of the most daring feats ever accomplished by men. Finally John surrendered under General Johnson. He was a walking historian and was the embodiment of patriotism. Just a few weeks before his death he offered to volunteer in the Texas National Guard and fight for our flag. Peace to his Ashes. Brother of: W.J. Crouch of Tahoka Billy Crouch of Brownwood
