Crowell 73 -Head IN -Carpenter Mary Crowell 60 -Wife KY _______________________________________ HENRY A. CROWELL -- To the man whose life history it is now our task to briefly outline belongs a share of the honor we instinctively bestow upon men who rise superior to an inauspicious early environment and achieve success in the face of great disadvantages. Our subject was born March 27, 1837, at Blooming Grove, Franklin county, Indiana. His father died while he was very young and naturally he early had to assume such responsibilities and duties as he was able, in this manner acquiring in boyhood habits of industry and self-reliance of inestimable value. When four years of age he was taken by his mother to Knox county, Illinois, where he remained until 1865. After acquiring a log-cabin education he turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, continuing in the same as long as he remained in the state. When about twenty-eight years of age he removed to Boone county, Iowa, and opened a grocery store, conducting that business in conjunction with a farming industry near by. Subsequently closing the grocery establishment he went into the grist mill business, and being in connection with his duties about the mill, much of his time in the engine room, he in due time became a skilled engineer. Eventually the engine was placed in his charge. In the performance of his duties in this connection he met with a very serious accident, falling from a tank which he was engaged in cleaning, striking on the fly wheel of the engine and breaking his leg and several ribs. He was unconscious for several hours and confined to his bed for about sixty days, but ultimately recovered almost entirely and resumed the discharge of his duties as engineer. In 1874 Mr. Crowell came to Walla Walla, via San Francisco, Portland and the old Baker road. For a short time after his arrival he worked for wages on a farm, but his abilities as an engineer were soon discovered and a position was given him as engineer in the old Dovel Sash and Door, Molding and Furniture factory. After continuing in this for some time his services were called into requisition as a molding-maker for the same firm, and he continued in their service until they went out of business. Mr. Crowell then worked for varying periods of time for other mills, also ran engines for threshermen during the harvest seasons until 1896, when he entered the service of Whitehouse & Crimmins, of whose engine he had charge for about a year, afterwards withdrawing to accept an appointment as pound master, tendered him by the city council, and this office he still retains, discharging his duties with faithfulness and fairness. In fraternal affiliations our subject is identified with the time-honored Masonic fraternity, his immediate connection being with Blue Mountain Lodge, No. 13. While he was a resident of Knox county, Illinois, Mr. Crowell's marriage to Miss Jane Stevens was duly solemnized, but they were not permitted to live long together, she passing away on July 4, 1865. On August 24, 1867, our subject was again married, in Knox county, Illinois, the lady being Miss Mary A. Thurmen, a native of Kentucky. They have two living children: Ella, now Mrs. O. T. Cornwell, of Walla Walla; and Sibley A., a bookkeeper for Samuel Loney, of this city. They also became the parents of two other children now deceased. Mr. Crowell is the owner of a very pleasant and comfortable home on the corner of Rose and Tukanon streets.
