Memorial service will be held 1:00 p.m., Saturday, July 1, 2023, First Presbyterian Church, Miller, Pastor Robert Brooks, officiating.
Faithe Luella (Crossman) Schultz was born February 22, 1933, in Wessington, daughter of Donovan and Stella (Miklethun) Crossman. She lived on a farm southwest of Wessington until 1937 when the family moved to Miller. Luella attended grades K-12 in Miller, graduating in 1951. She attended South Dakota State College in Brookings for three years and then began teaching at a rural school in Hand County and one year in the Rapid City school system. In the fall of 1963, she began teaching the sixth grade in Miller and, by attending night classes, she received a four-year teaching degree from Huron College in 1966. After a total of 36 years in the teaching field, she retired in the spring of 1992.
On February 21, 1962, she married Donald "Casey" Schultz. They lived their entire married life on the same street in Miller Luella had been since 1940. They were not in the same house but in the house next door.
The greatest love of her life was helping others to learn how to swim. She was the Miller city lifeguard and swimming teacher for fifteen years and continued giving lessons in their back yard pool through 2020. History was very important to her and she had kept a personal diary since January of 1947. She also liked gardening and yard work and was a great supporter of the Miller School system and our town. The Crossman Hatchery was her grandparents', Arbie and Mabel Crossman, original business and was later owned by Casey; it was a source of great pride for Luella until her husband closed the business at the end of 1994.
Luella and her family attended the Miller Presbyterian Church beginning in 1937. Luella was confirmed and joined the church on December 7, 1947. She served as elder, trustee, as a memorial committee member, and a member of the bell choir. The bells used in the bell choice had been given to the church in memory of the Crossman family. Luella and Casey helped make the banners and decorate the sanctuary for many years. She was a charter member of the inner light group, belonged to the Miller Community Garden Club, and the Historical Society, and was on the Miller Housing Committee. She kept the names of every graduate or anyone who attended Miller School from 1904 until the present day.
Luella and Casey have never spent a Christmas apart and this year will be no different.
Luella is survived by her cousin, Leon Crossman.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Casey; parents; and three sisters: Leota, Donna, and Sonja.

Bradley Warner Crossman, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs., A. B. Crossman, died Sunday afternoon following a very brief illness of a little over a day. The little fellow was as well as ever, apparently, at breakfast time Saturday, but some time before noon was taken with convaltions, one following another in rapid succession until the seventh brought unconsciousness from which he never rallied. He was born on November 25, 1916 and was but twenty two months old when death took him. He was possessed of a bright and happy disposition and was beloved by all who knew him, especially his parents and brothers, who will miss him greatly.
The funeral services were held at the G.H. Crossman home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Mr. J. R. Buchanan. Mesdames Chaffee, Mehrent and Curtiss lead the singing. The four grandparents were present, Mrs. Crossman’s father and mother having come up from Mt. Vernon to attend the services. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Leyson, of Ree Heights, were also present.
The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
Bradley Warner Crossman was born Nov. 25, 1916, and departed this life Sept. 29, 1918, being one year, 10 months and 4 days old. His happy and loving disposition made him a joy to his family and all those who knew him. He was like a ray of sunshine that shines bright for a time and then is gone, and will be greatly missed in the home, but we know his little light is not under a bushel but is set on a hill that cannot be hid and will be a light to the bereaved family who can look away to the windows of Heaven and see his light shining for them. His funeral was held in the hone of his grandparents, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 1918. A large concourse of sympathizing friends had gathered. He leaves a father and mother and three brothers to mourn his departure and a host of relatives and friends. His little body was laid to rest in the Wessington Cemetery to await the Resurrection Morn, for we believe in the resurrection of the body and Life Everlasting.
