Death	14 Jul 1914	Goldsboro, Wayne County, North Carolina, USA [3]

Notes	Added 29 Oct 2026 from Gloria Crumpler Vester's Crumpler database (crumpler.org, 1999). Her record, with any relatives not copied here, is in the Gloria tree on this site (person I3599). Elbert Erastus Crumpler, son of Gaston Crumpler and Henrietta (Etta) Williamson: born 16 May 1889, died 14 Jul 1914 at Goldsboro, Wayne County, buried 15 Jul 1914 in Springvale Cemetery, Clinton (North Carolina death certificate; headstone photographed by Charlene Ward). He married Maggie McMillan at Goldsboro on 2 May 1909 (Wayne County marriage register, which names his parents as Gaston and Etta Crumpler); their son Elbert Norwood Crumpler was born in 1913. The 1913 birth record of the son calls the father Erastus Cooper Crumpler, so his full name may have been Elbert Erastus Cooper or Erastus Cooper; the stone has Elbert Erastus. This tree previously had him twice (once under his parents, once as Elbert Norwood's father with no parents); the two records are now one.
