They were the parents of Leo, Lloyd, and Guy. Siblings: John W 1842 1/2 brother Willard D 1849 Nancy E 1856 Mary 1857 Not in 1860 census The Mapleton Press - Thursday , March 1st, 1928 - E.L. Crow, prominent Mapleton citizen, widely known in democratic party circles, died at his home here Monday noon after a two years illness. He was 75 years old. Mr. Crow's health began to fail early in 1926. That summer he went to Rochester, Minn., where he underwent an operation. The operation disclosed an incurable condition. Measures to prolong his life were taken and he managed to hold his own for many months. Several months ago he became weaker, and recently he was compelled to remain in his bed. His condition grew perceptibly weaker Sunday, and when he lapsed into unconsciousness it became apparent that the end was not far off. Mrs. Louis Salinger, his daughter, of Carroll, was summoned Monday morning, but she was unable to reach his side before death stepped in. Funeral services were held at St. John's Methodist church at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, with Rev. George W. Dunn officiating. Members of Quarry lodge. A F. & A . M., of which he was a past master, attended the funeral in a body, acted as pallbearers, and were in charge of services at Mt. Hope cemetery where burial was made. Many beautiful floral tributes and a large attendance at the funeral bore testimony to the esteem, in which Mr. Crow was held in this community. Edward Linus Crow was born in Linn county, Iowa October 13, 1852. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Crow. They were pioneers in Linn county. In fact the elder Crow was the first settler in Linn county, having come there at the close of the Black Hawk war in 1837. There were 10 children in the family of pioneers of whom five survive. Mr. Crow spent the early years of his life in Linn county. He was married there to Adelia A. Gillilan on October 15, 1879. They lived in Linn county until March 1882, when, they came to Crawford county and settled on a farm six miles east of Mapleton. Here they lived for three years, until March of 1885, when they moved to Mapleton which had been their home ever since. They had lived in their present home since 1894. After coming to Mapleton Mr. Crow engaged in the grain and stock buying business. He retired from business in 1907, and then devoted most of his time to his farms, one of which is a short distance east of Mapleton. Mr. Crow was mayor of Mapleton for one term, having been elected without opposition. He also had served as a councilman and for many years was president of the board of education. Mr. Crow was deeply interested in democratic politics. Although he never cared for political offices, his friends prevailed upon him to make the race for state senator in 1910. Until that time the office had always gone to a republican. His campaign was successful, with the result that he represented this district in the state legislature during two sessions. For many years Mr. Crow was county democratic chairman. That his influence extended outside the county was demonstrated beyond a doubt when Mapleton was given free mail delivery. Mr. Crow always was a friend of the late Congressman Tom Steele, of Sioux City. It was during Mr. Steele's term in congress that the government decided upon experimental village mail delivery. Only one town In the congressional district could be selected under this plan. Mr. Crow prevailed upon Congressman Steele to favor Mapleton in this respect. This Mr. Steele did, and this is the reason Mapleton is one of the few towns of its size to have free mail delivery. Before Mapleton could qualify for delivery service it had to show that its streets were properly marked and its houses numbered. Mr. Crow took the lead in seeing that this requirement was fulfilled. Mr. Crow was always active in fraternal societies. He had been past master of Quarry lodge, A.F. & A.M., high priest of Monona Chapter No. 115, he was a member of Sioux City Consistory, the Knights of Templar, the Ancient and Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Modern Woodmen of the World, the Knights of Pythias, and the Community club. Mr. Crow had been vice president of the First State Bank for many years, and none was more loyal to the institution than he. The bank was closed all of Wednesday afternoon In his memory. Besides his widow, he is survived by one son, Lloyd, of Mapleton, and a daughter, Mrs. Louis Salinger, of Carroll, la. One son, Guy, died in Buffalo, N.Y. October 18, 1913.
