He settled on section 23, on land purchased of Reed. His farm is now owned by R. Mosher, and part of the village of Postville is on this land. Mr. Crowel sold his farm in 1858, and moved to Kansas, where the same year his wife died. The following spring he returned to this town and bought a farm on section 25, where he died in February, 1880. His brother, Chester Crowel, married Lydia Ann Day, in November, 1843. This was the first matrimonial event in town. They went to Iowa in 1854, and shortly after to Kansas, where he died in 1875. In 1842 William Crowel and his family settled on section 22. He was the father of Albro and Chester. The rest of the family came with him. Of the children only one now resides in this town, Roswell Crowel, a son, living on section 22. Mr. Crowel had two married daughters, Alma, wife of Simeon Allan and Polly, wife of Joseph Miller. The former came in 1841, and latter came in 1842. Mr. Allan and his wife afterwards went to Iowa, where he died; his widow now lives in Minnesota. Mr. Miller and his wife are now residents of the city of Monroe. The other children, all sons, are away from here.
