Like his father before him, he is now and has been for some years a successful rancher. He was born near Nord, August 1, 1878, and was educated in the public and the State Normal School at Chico. He graduated in 1902, and for four and one-half years was a teacher in the Chico grammar schools, and was principal of Bidwell school one year. His father, Zachariah Taylor Crowder, was born in Cleveland County, N.C., April 23, 1849, and was about seven years old when he came with his father, Godfrey Crowder, across the plains with ox teams in 1856, being six months and six days on the way. Thomas' grandfather, Godfrey, located on Big Chico Creek, one-half mile east of the present town of Chico, but remained there only one month when he moved to Colusa County, where he took up a land grant. After a time he disposed of this property and took up a homestead about eight miles north of Chico, where he died in 1898, aged eighty-two years. As a young man Zachariah assisted his father, Godfrey, on the ranch, after which he began purchasing land on his own account until he finally owned twenty-two hundred acres. He also joined with his brother, D.F. Crowder, in leasing the Bidwell ranch of fifteen thousand acres. They employed sixty hands the year round, running for a time headers and stationary threshers, and later two combined harvesters, using thirty-six mules to propel each. They raised barley and wheat, and sold the former as low as eighty cents per cental. After a time the brothers, Zachariah and D.F., dissolved partnership. Zachariah then bought three hundred forty acres, adding to it until he owned twelve hundred eighty acres; he began to gradually sell off his holdings, except the present home place of eight hundred forty acres. Fraternally he was an Odd Fellow, and had much to do with the business life of the community, serving as school trustee for sixteen years and as clerk of the school board for twelve years. He died at the home place, November 22, 1913, aged sixty-four. Thomas Burton Crowder's mother's maiden name was Melvina Jane Mills; she was born in Little Rock, Ark. She had three children: William, who died when eleven months old; Thomas Burton, with whom his mother now lives, and Clifford, who has a harness store in Chico. Thomas Burton Crowder was married in Oakland to Miss Ellen Murray, who was born in Oakland, where she was educated and where she graduated as a nurse in the Central Hospital, in which she was head nurse for a time. In 1908 Mr. Crowder leased his father's ranch and still continues ranching. He has five hundred acres in grain and one hundred acres in hay, and also raises pure bred registered Duroc hogs. He uses the most up-to-date methods in his work. He is a member and Past Grand of Chico Lodge No. 113, Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Chico and a delegate to the Grand Lodge; he is also a member of the Encampment, of which he is Past Chief Patriarch. He is a member of the Christian Church. In politics he is a Democrat. Source: "History of Butte County, Cal.," by George C.
