DEATH OF LEWIS CROW.

Lewis Crow, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Plymouth
county, died at his home on Clark street in this city at ten o'clock on
Sunday evening. His death was sudden. He had been suffering from neuralgia
of the stomach but was not confined in bed. The heat on Sunday appeared to
oppress him. His physician saw him in the afternoon and told him he should
be in bed. Mr. Crow was in good spirits and said he was ready to go when his
time came. He had an attack about seven in the evening, the neuralgia going
to his heart, and the end came three hours later.

Lewis Crow was born in St. Charles county, Missouri, on October 15, 1820. In
1844 he moved to Grant county, Wisconsin, and was united in marriage October
15, 1845, with Miss Hattie Hogle, who survives him.

Mr. Crow served in the war of 61-65 being a member of Company C.,
Forty-ninth Wisconsin Infantry. In 1873 they moved to Plymouth County and
homesteaded on a farm in Washington township where they resided until
fourteen years ago when they moved to LeMars. Eight children were born to
them three of who have died. Those living are: John L. Crow, of LeMars; J.C.
Crow, Chicago; C.T. Crow, Hillsboro, Oregon; Mrs. O.T. McConnell, Centralia,
Wash.; Mrs. M. M. Bonham, Long Creek, Oregon.

Mr. Crow was a member of the United Evangelical Church and joined the church
in 1837, and has been constant in religious faith ever since. He was one of
nature's noblemen, a devoted husband and father. His home life was ideal.
His kindness was unbounded, and his neighborliness was patterned after the
teachings of Christ. His life was cast in no heroic mould but he acted well
and nobly his part. [the copy ends here; the rest of the obituary is not
