MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR MRS. H.L. CRANFORD
Written by James B. Gordon UDC Chaplain Jan 23, 1986
Mrs. H.L. Cranford, member of the James B. Gordon Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy, died Friday, Dec. 13, 1985 at her home in Charlotte, 2503 Roswell
Ave. She had moved to Charlotte just a few years ago to be near her son. Mrs. Cranford joined the Guilford Chapter #301 in Greensboro in 1928 and transferred to our
Chapter Jan. 29, 1962. She was a member of our Chapter for almost 24 years. During that time she served on the telephone committee. I am very glad that I happened
to be on her list. She always asked about members of my family that she knew and members of the UDC. By this time she was not very well and could not come to many
of the meetings but she spoke of the work she was doing on her family history. She did extensive research and left behind great quantities of valuable records of historical
significance. This was what she concentrated on after her retirement. Mrs. Cranford was also an avid stamp collector and accumulated quite an extensive and valuable
collection. Another interest of hers was the Bethabara Historical Society and through that organization she was instrumental in the preservation of that early settlement as
a Historical park.
Myrtle Hunter Cranford was a member of one of the early families of Forsyth County. Her parents were James Oscar Hunter and Mary James Hunter. She was
born Sept. 6, 1897 and named Mary after her mother , but was called Myrtle, which was her second name. She was widowed soon after her son was born and it was
necessary for her to support and educate her son by her own efforts. She worked for many years at Pfaff's, Inc. After she retired fro there she worked as a Tax lister.
She made her home at 5456 University parkway close by a sister and a brother who lived in the same neighborhood. When her health began to fail she moved to
Charlotte to be near her son, Henry L. Cranford, Jr. and his family. There were three grandchildren, Mary Anne Cranford and Mark Edward & Stephen Allen Cranford.
Other survivors were two sisters, Mrs. Nell hunter Wilson and Mrs. Viola hunter White. Two brothers Russell hunter and Elbert O. Hunter. Mrs. Cranford had a spirit akin
to the pioneer women who settled in our cuntry. She met the challenges of life. She was resuorceful and knew how to cope with the problems that came her way. She
has left an imprint on her family, community and on us.
