formerly was sought TO represent the

George Emerson Crowell was born
Sept. %, 1894, in Manchester by the.
Sea, Mass, the second of the three chill
dren of Nathaniel and Esther Stone
Day Crowell. His father was a cabinet
maker, who previous to the birth of the
son, George, had lived in New Hamp-
shire, and the family returned to Con-
cord, that state, when this son was but
two years old. From Concord the fam
lily moved to a farm in Hopkinton, n
H., where George f. CrowelI spent the
greater part of his youth. He received
his educational training in the excellent
district schools of the community, de-
veloping the quick perceptive powers
and the taste for good literature which
distinguished him throughout life.
Mr.. Crowell belonged to that numer-
Gus family which is traditionally
descended from Oliver Cromwell, and
it is a well established fact that when
the descendants of that great leader of
the commonwealth left England they
decided to drop the en- from the

At the age of Is George E. Crowell
left school and took up the active
duties of life, working on his father s
farm in the summer months and in a
shoemaker S shop in the winter time. He
did not, however, abandon his interests
in intellectual pursuits, but joining the
Philomathic club, an organization in
his town patterned after the old Spec
tator club which fourished in the days
of Addison, he spent his spare moments
in the preparation of work which had
not little to do with the development
of his literary powers. He was still
living on the farm when the Civil war
broke out, and in response to the Pres
ident 5 call for troops he enlisted for
nine months service in the 10th New
Hampshire regiment. Going with his
company to the Gulf he did valiant
fighting in the Louisiana campaign
