Capt. James J. Crow is successfully engaged in tilling his farm which consists of 160 acres of land, of which 100 acres are in an excellent state of cultivation. He has a comfortable residence, and besides the income from his farm derives a competency from a good grist-mill and cotton-gin of which he is the owner. He was born in Darlington District, S. C., June 11, 1837, and although his father, John Crow, was born in North Carolina, he removed to South Carolina when a young man and was married there to Miss Martha Albright, a native of that State. He removed to Louisiana in 1852, and opened up a large plantation in what is now Webster Parish, and on this plantation resided until his death in 1865, his widow still surviving him and residing on the old homestead. James J. Crow remained with his father until he attained his majority, then began doing for himself. In 1861 he became a member of the Twelfth Louisiana Infantry, and was promoted from the ranks to captain in 1864, and served as such until the final surrender. He participated in the fights at Belmont, Baker's Creek, Fort Henry and Shiloh, and was in numerous other engagements, but of minor importance: Siege and surrender of Atlanta, Spring Hill, Decatur, Columbia, Franklin and Nashville. After the war had closed
he returned to Webster Parish, turned his sword into a plowshare and has since given his attention to farming. After the death of his father he took charge of the home place, and after managing it in an admirable manner for about eleven years he engaged in saw-milling and manufacture of lumber, which calling he continued for about eight years.
In 1879 he located on a farm once more and in 1885 bought his present property. His marriage, which took place on February 18, 1871, was to Miss Emma Odam, who was born and reared in Georgia, and both are now members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Crow is a member of
the Farmers' Union, is an enterprising and public-spirited gentleman, and a strong believer in the future advancement and development of Webster Parish.
