Daisy Crouch Retired From News at 87 Years It comes to everyone--if they live long enough—that day when one has to acknowl¬edge and confirm to the law of nature that the years have taken their toll, and it is time to retire gracefully and enjoy the work of whomever may take their place. It was with a feeling of sadness and loss when I met with Mac and Louise Mc- Conaughy in early January and asked to be released from my job as correspond¬ent to The Morgan County News, after having been as¬sociated with the "News" and the people of Morgan County for the past 27 years. Before this, I was correspondent for the Ogden Standard Examiner. When Al and Virginia Ep¬person of Kaysville, bought the business from Mr. Perry, I was asked to help them by opening an office on Main Street until they could make plans to move to Morgan. They built their home (op¬posite the "News" office) and were becoming a wel¬come addition to Morgan when suddenly, one Sunday afternoon a few months later, Al, without any previous warning died of a heart attack. The business was sold to the present publishers, Mac, Louise and Bud McConaughy January 1, 1956. I still con¬tinued as reporter, in charge of the subscriptions, writing the society news and occa¬sionally a feature story. This brought me in close contact with the county affairs and also with the business houses and industrial section of Morgan. o, not because I wanted to quit, but because of age and failing eyesight, it was with great reluctance and sadness that I asked Mac and Louise to be released. My last story to the people of Morgan, the finest people in all the world, to the edi¬tors, co-workers, Lynx, Colleen, Joye, Pauline, and in remembrance of Camie, I thank you all for the beau¬tiful friendship and the associations, for the pa¬tience and understanding that you have shown toward me for all these years. And now at age 87, I am retiring and will spend what¬ever time I have left in read¬ing and enjoying The Morgan County News. Again I thank you all, adieu, and God Bless! —Daisy Crouch. Editors Note- Daisy had a "nose for news," and could spot a story a mile off. Her talent as a newspaper woman was wide and varied and it doesn't seem quite the same, to not have her call us or come in the office with her new paper stories. Her fine sense of humor, and interest in world affairs was a delight.She has always been an avid reader and is noted for her fine book re¬views. She is a native of New Zealand and is widely trav¬eled. It has been difficult to accept her resignation but we wish her the best in health and happiness.
