He owns a valu- able farm (section seven, township fifty-four, range twenty-nine,) of two hundred and ten acres of very fertile farming land, well fenced, and in an excellent condition of cultivation, with fine, thrifty bearing orchards, and an abundance of pure water for the numerous herds of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, with which the pastures are stocked. The farm is improved by a handsome, commodious and conveniently arranged dwell- ing house, a large and substantially built barn and granaries, sheds and other buildings for the protection of stock and the shelter of grain, feed, etc. Mr. Crowley is also engaged, to a considerable extent, in buying and selling live stock, and devotes particular attention to breeding and raising the best varieties. He is a thrifty, practical, experienced farmer, and the condition of his model farm bears testimony to his success, in that, his chosen branch of business. Mr. Crowley was married Novem- ber 19, 1840, by Rev. John Edwards, to Miss Margaret Miller, a native of Clay county, Missouri, born May 29, 1825.
