- Charles Mabie Crouse died at his home, 416 West Genesee street, shortly after 8 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Crouse suffered an attack of heart failure early Friday morning and since then his condition had been considered critical. He awoke a little before 8 o'clock and almost immediately lapsed into unconsciousness. Ten minutes later he was dead.
With him when he died was his wife, and the nurse who has been in attendance since he was stricken. His physician, Dr. Charles D. Post, who was hurredly summoned when Mr. Crouse's condition was observed to have changed, arrived a few minutes later.
Mr. Crouse would have been 62 years old had he lived until June 15. He was the son of Jacob Crouse and Eliza (Mabie) Crouse. He was born in Canastota where his early boyhood was spent, coming to Syracuse when a very young man.
On June 1, 1882, two years after he had been graduated from Yale university, he was married to Eliza Leach, daughter of the late Thomas Jefferson Leach, who survives him. He is survived also by three daughters, Miss Margaret Crouse, Mrs. Dwight J. Baum of New York and Mrs. Jerome Dewitt Barnum of this city. One sister, Mrs. Frank J. Maynard of New York and four grandchildren, John Crouse Baum and Dwight J. Baum, jr., Jerome D. Barnum, jr., and Theron Crouse Barnum, the latter being born on the day his grandfather was stricken. One nephew, M. Crouse Klock, is another surviving relative.
He was a director of the First National Bank and later when the First Trust & Deposit Company and the First National were merged, he became a director in that banking institution. He was director of the Onondaga Pottery company, of the Syracuse Journal Publishing company, president of the Quaint Art Furniture company, a trustee of the Young Men's Christian association and a member of the Citizens, the Century and the Onondaga Country clubs. He was also a member of the Book and Snake of Yale university.
His summer home was at Homer where he owned the old David Harum farm, the place where the famous book of that title was written. He was also owner of other extensive farming interests throughout New York state and interested extensively in mining industries in the West.
His father was one of the founders of the Crouse grocery business in Syracuse, which Mr. Crouse took up when he was ready to enter upon his business career. His family formerly occupied the old Mabie homestead in South Warren street, the spot where the Herald building now stands.
He was a man of numerous philanthropies, though of these he allowed but little to be known, so modest and retiring was his nature.
The funeral will be from his late home in West Genesee street at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. Edmund A. Barnham of the Plymouth Congregational church, where Mr. Crouse had been a communicant for years, will read the service. Burial will be made in the family plot at Oakwood cemetery.

- An outstanding woman leader for the last 50 years was lost to Syracuse when Mrs. Lizzie Crouse Maynard died at 10:45 o'clock Tuesday night of pneumonia at the age of 83 at the home of her son, M. Crouse Klock on the site of the old Crouse family residence at 1052 East Genesee street.
The illness which caused her death was the fourth attack of pneumonia she had suffered. She had been in a critical condition for several days before the end.
Mrs. Maynard was the daughter of the late Jacob Crouse, who, with his uncle, the late John Crouse, established a wholesale grocery business in Syracuse in 1858.
She was born at Chittenango on Feb. 20, 1854. Her father, who was born in Mindenville, Montgomery County, had started as a clerk in the store of his uncles, Daniel and John Crouse, at Canastota. Then, from 1847 to 1854 he had a store of his own at Manlius Center.
By the time he moved to Syracuse, with his four-year-old daughter, he was well on the road to wealth and the family at once took a position of social importance.
When Miss Lizzie Crouse reached the "coming out" age, she had this background and that, with her own personality, made her one of the belles of her youth in this city.
On May 14, 1879, she married Frank B. Klock, who died in 1892. Some time later she married Frank Hamilton Maynard, who died several years ago.
Mrs. Maynard retained her residence in the Crouse homestead in East Genesee Street and also had an apartment at 400 Park Avenue. She also traveled extensively.
But, whether in this country or abroad, she was a subscriber to Syracuse newspapers and from the time she was 14, kept up scrapbooks pertaining to the life and development of this city. It was said that these scrapbooks were the finest pertaining to Syracuse in existence.
She was also active in philanthropies of many kinds, being especially interested in the development of Syracuse Memorial Hospital. For years she served on the hospital board and in the Harmony Circle of the hospital.
The last three years of her life were spent in this city.
Surviving relatives, besides her son, Mr. Klock, include:
A grandson, Frank T. Klock, and two granddaughters, Mrs. Klock MacWilliams, of Syracuse, and Mrs. Benjamin E. Crispin, of New York City; four great-grandchildren, Miss Marion C. MacWilliams and John J. MacWilliams, Jr., both of Syracuse and Benjamin E. Crispin, Jr., and Laurie K. Crispin, both of New York; and three nieces, Mrs. Dwight James Baum of Riverdale-on-Hudson, Mrs. Jerome D. Barnum and Miss Margaret L. Crouse of Syracuse.

For his work then Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels wrote him a letter of commendation. Mr. Klock at the time was also head of the American Protective League.
Mr. Klock maintained a summer residence at the Thousand Islands, out of Clayton. He was a yachtsman of note and some years ago, long after steam vessels gave way to gasoline powered yachts, he was visited by John Jacob Astor, then a young man in his 20s.
Astor made negotiations to purchase the old steamer from Mr. Klock, had it towed to New York via the Barge Canal where he worked to get it back into commission.
Mr. Klock was a former trustee of Syracuse University and a former director of the Utica Mutual Insurance Company and of the Great Lakes Steamship Company.
He was an active supporter of the Community Chest and Council, of the Red Cross and many other local charities.
His affiliations included the Century Club, University Club of New York, University Club of Syracuse, the Syracuse Liederkrans Club and of the Citizens Club. Politically he was a Republican.

Y.; four grandchildren, Mrs. Bradford W. Sherry of Syracuse, John J. MacWilliams, Jr., of New York City; Benjamin E. Crispin, Jr., of Berwick, Pa., and Mrs. John Wigglesworth of Baltimore, Md., and four great-grandchildren, Stephen J. and Peter B. Sherry and Roger and Linda A. Wigglesworth.
The family requests that friends, instead of sending flowers, contribute to the American Cancer Society.
