He married Miss Susanna McCracken on March 19, 1861. During this union ten children were born, six of whom are living -- W. J. and George F. of St. Paul, Joseph H. of Grand Island, Eliza J. Armstrong of New York state, Miss Lavina Crow of Chicago and Mrs. Mary A. Lowry of Wisconsin. He with a number of others, most of whom were relatives, moved to this country in March, 1872. Mr. Crow joined the Methodist church in Brussels in 1870. After coming to this country and building his house, the presiding elder and people met one week after the house was completed and organized (in his house) the first Methodist Episcopal society that was organized in this county. Mr. Crow with others commenced the erection of the Warsaw Methodist church that was first built at this place the first summer of his residence here. Mr. Crow built several mills, one on Oak creek, one with a partner (Mr. Leftwich) on Spring creek near Cushing, also one in St. Paul with his partner, Mr. Leftwich. He also helped build a stock company mill in Omaha. He built, or helped build, two mills in the Black Hills, South Dakota. He also built a mill at Silver Creek. Mr. Crow has resided on a farm since the death of his son Wesley, who was injured in the Silver Creek mill, the injuries causing almost immediate death. This occurred in '95. On July 25, 1881, he was married to Miss Margaret Crow. To this union were born eight children, six of whom are living -- Mable Crow, Christopher, Arthur, David, Paul and Floyd -- all of whom reside at home except Mable, who is married and lives near. Mr. Crow was widely known and had many friends. He said he believed the Lord would receive him. The funeral of Christopher Crow, which was held at the Methodist church in this city Sunday afternoon, was one of the largest ever witnessed here. The ceremonies were in charge of the A.O.U.W. lodge, of which the deceased was a member and that order turned out in a body. Rev. J. P. Yost preached the sermon. Mr. Crow was one of the earliest settlers in Howard county. In company with Henry Roe, he headed the Canadian colony which settled west of St. Paul in 1872 and from which Canada Hill takes its name. Hundreds of his old neighbors and friends joined in performing the last sad rites over his body. Interment was made in the St. Paul cemetery.
