THE VERMONT PHCKNTX: BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1916. E. CROWELL DEAD Proprietor of Water System-Former Household Publisher Long and Actlvo Career Olosod Head of Oarpcntor Co. Many Years and Largo Holder of Heal Estate. George E.

Crowell, 82, proprietor of ho Hrnttleboro water system, former publisher of Tho Household, for years bead of the Carpenter company, and a GEORGE E. CBOWELL. largo owner of property, died in his liome, Lindenhurst, about 5.45 o'clock Saturday morning. For several years ho had failed gradually, noticeably in tho past year, and fqr the past month he had been confined to his home. His death was duo to a conrplicatiou of diseases, largely incident to his advanced age, including hardening of the artorics and a kidney trouble.

In tho passing of Mr. Crowell the town loses ono of its most public spirited citizens, a man of fine character and sterling integrity. He was one of the most congenial of men and stodd for the highest things in life. Possessing high ideals and an interest in the welfare of tho community, he formerly was sought to represent the town in the legislature, but preferred not to do so, although ho did consent at one time to be the nominee of the Prohibition party for the lieutenant governorship of the state. It is nil honorable career that closes with his death.

George Emerson Crowell was born Sept. 29; 1834, in Manchcstcr-by-the-Sea, the second of the three children of Nathaniel and Esther Stone Hay Crowell. His father was a cabinet maker, who previous to tho birth of tho son, George, had lived in New Hampshire, nncf tho family roturncd to Concord, that state, when this son was but two years old. From Concord the family, moved to a farm in Hopkinton, X. where George E.

Crowell spent tho greater part of his youth. He received Iiis educational training in tho excellent district schools of tho community, developing the quick perccptivo powers and tho taste for good literature which distinguished him throughout life. Mr. Crowell belonged to that numer ous 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 tho from the name, thus changing it to Crowell. Of tins' particular lino ono of the first to apfTear in this country -did valiant service in tlio Colonial wars; another, Cheney 'Emerson, nn undo of Nathaniel Crowell, served as a soldier in tho Revolutionary war and afterward settled in Illinois.

At tho age of 1.1 Gcorgo E. Crowell left school and took up tho activo duties of life, working on his father's farm in tho summer months and in a shoemaker's shop in tho winter time. Ho did not, however, abandon his intorests in intellectual pursuits, but joining tho Philomathic club, an organization in his town patterned after the old Spec tator club which flourished in the of Addison, he spent his spare moments in the preparation of work which had not a little to do with tho development of his literary powers. Ho was still living on tho farm when tho Civil war broko out, and in response to tho President's cnll for troops ho enisted for nine months' servico in tho loth jew Hampshire regiment. Going with his company to tho Gulf ho did valiant flehtihir in tho Louisiana campaign About this timo his father died and ho inherited tho homo fnrm and with it, tmfortunatoly, a heavy mortgage.

It was to rcmovd this incumbrance that, after returning from tho war, ho derided to take up newspaper work. Ho came to Hrattloboro in 180(5 to become associated' with Daniol L. Millikin in tho publication of tho Vermont Record and a weekly nowspapcr which was afterward absorbed by The Phoenix. The Record and Farmer dovoted a col uiriu to donicstie affairs under the head ing "Tho Household." Tho original reeolnes published hero attracted so much' attention that Mr. Crowell con eelved tho idea of the publication of a mo'iithlv periodical dovoted entirely to domestic interests.

Mr. Millikcn also believed that there was a field for sue! a iournal, but tho two inou wero busy at that time with tho work on tho weekly n'ewsnaper. In lSfli, Mr. Milliken hav ing sold tho weokly, plans wero started Saiiefy First constipation, biliousness and many ailments of the digestive organs are often the source of serious illness.

Sold everywhere. In boxes, 10c, 25c. fGr tho now publication. Mr. Crowell suggested weaving into tho headline John Howard Payne's tribute to home, and dividing tho departments of tho paper in such a way as to reproduce tho various departments! of a well-ordered Now England household.

At last tho dream became a reality- and tho first number of Tho Household was published in January, 1808, with 111 paid-up subscriptions. Tho first number was printed in tho office of tho Springfield Republican under tho direction of Clnrk W. Bryan, afterward tho founder and publisher of Good Housekeeping. The now1 venture met with encourage ment at tho Start, but both of tho pro- 1 .1 i 1 jHjuiuia ivuiu jiuiiipuri-u uy juiiiiuu iiiiuu- cinl menus', and as expenses continued to outrun receipts tho growth of tho pa per was retarded. For months its pub Ijeation was almost a race against destiny with tho seeming impossibility to carry it forward to success.

At tho end of tho fifth month it was evident 'that somothing must be done speedily to bring m6ro money to the concern with which to meet thd expenses ot pub lication. In this extremity Mr. Milli ken proposed buying Mr. Crowell 's forest, but tho latter, not desiring to sell, mot tho proposition with tho conn tor offer to buy. As neither had any money all offers took the nature of barter, which finally ended in an extremely nrimtinl nrmmqitinii nvni ffY linfl 1m I 1 nowspapor men.

It was proposed that the seller was to havo for payment of his interest in the concern the right to obtain a certain number of yearly sub scriptions, he taking all the income trom them while tho buyer was to sup ply tho paper to the subscriber, this be ing the consideration given for. his partner's interest in the property. Bidding for tho property on this basis, which was first begun by Mr. Millikcn, was brisk, he offering at the outset to givo Mr. Crowell 10,000 sub scriptions.

Mr. urowell responded with a still higher number and finally increased it to 25,000. Here competitive bidding ceased, but Mr. Milliken claimed as they had given agents a commission of 25 per cent, ho as an agent in tho future should havo tho same terms. This was finally acceded to, and Mr.

Crowell gave l-II yearly subscriptions for Ids partner's half interest in Tho Household. This sudden turn of tho affairs of tho partnership interest brought tho financinl problem straight home to Mr. Crowell, who had hitherto borne only half the weight of the load. The question of ways and means became to him at once pressing, and hero was whero tho old homestead, tho paternal acres, came in to play an important part. An old friend had been left behind at Hop kinton, to whom was made an appeal for money and to which ho responded, taking as security a mortgage upon tho farm.

Tiiis brought the means of meeting the expenso of tho next issue nnd another friend assisted to bring out the second under Mr. Crowell 's ownership. Subscriptions began to como in moro anally and tho work went on, but tho outgo continued to exceed the income, and the prospect ahead did not look particularly encouraging. Still, there was hopo while there was life. Mr.

Crowell had worked for $15 weok, while filling tho position of agricultural editor of the Farmer and Record slept in tho office, cooked his own meals, or lived on bread and milk at a total expense of $10 a month, nnd had put $50 a month into the bank, that he might pay off tho mortgago on the old farm. When the management of Tho House hold came solely upon him, he continued the same lino pf economy in living and held on, though his fingers must havo been soro trom the tight grasp, and his spirits clouded with tho over pressing necessity for money to pay tho bills in curred, while striving to increase ins circulation and carry the paper to a solid footing. It was not until ho had entered upon tho fifth year of publication, that ho began to experience finan cial relief, and then the receipts approached the amount of tho expenses. Tho Household was begun with 10 pages and a year later four moro were added, the publisher having ottered to make such an enlargement when tho circulation should have reached 12.UUU, at tho samo timo promising to mako a still further enlargement when tho cir culation reached 20,000. At tho end of three years that number of subscribers having been obtained tho second enlargement was made and 24 pages wero printed.

At a later date The Household was enlarged to pages, making it at that timo quo of tho largest monthlies issued from an American press. For a number of years while Tho Household was under Mr. Crowell 's ownership its circulation wns 80,000 copies. This was ono of tho big circulations of among American publications at that timo. From Brattleboro Mr.

Crowell 's paper went into homes in every state in tho Union and almost to tho remotest bounds of civilization in foreign coun tries. Thousands and thousands of housewives found in its well-filled pages each month much that instructed them in their daily duties, and much that cheered and brightened tho darker sido of domestic affairs. Tho paper was printed in Springfield, several year, but eventually a soveral years, but eventually a in this town. Tho business and edi torial rooms of Tho Household wero in tho quarters now occupied by tho Vermont Loan Trust company and by E. Crosby privato oflicc, the composing room and other rooms wero in tho present quarters of S.

A. Daniels and Dr. Wheeler, and tho press room was in tho basement of Harmony building. Tiio Household was a pioneer in a particular fiold, and for several years was tho only journal published in this country devoted cntiroly to domestic affairs. It was founded in tho beliof that tho litoraturo furnished by various magazines was not such as to meet tho tasto of thoso earnest women who con stitute tho larger class of tho community that they needed something more practical in its nature, and that which tonded directly to turn mere drudgory into something approaching scientific exactness.

In October, 1600, Mr. Crowell dis posod of Tho Household to U. K. Pot tinglll and W. N.

Hartshorn of Boston, and it was removed to that city. Mr. Pottingill was tho head of tho advertising firm of Pottingill which firm for thrco years had had chargo of tho advertising in Tho Household and had becomo impressod with tho valuo of the paper. In 1875 Mr. Crowell married Miss Mary Spencer of this town, a woman of refinement who had sympathetic and helpful interest in all tho undertakings with which her husband was identified.

Six ehildtcn wero born lj them, of whom thrco nro now K.ingj Chrlstio B. Crowell, superintendent of tho local water works, Mlsa Esther Crowell, a former teacher of tho High strcot primary school, and Uobrrt who is engaged in government work in the Panama canal zone. Air. and Mrs. Crowell lmVo always been closely identified witli the Baptist church.

In 1882 Mr. Crowell bought the Isaac Hincs property on HlncS's hill, which ho renamed Chestnut hill, and put on largo force of men to complete the ncquoduct wllich Mr. Hincs began. This included tho Chestnut hill reservoir, of 5,000,000 gallons capacity, which was Brattleboro 's main source of water supply for domestic and firo purposes until a few years ago, when Mr. Crowell constructed and added to tho water system nn immense reservoir in Pleasant valley.

This system, for a town of tills size, is one of the finest in the country. In recent years tho water system has been tho enterprise to which Mr. Crowell hns chiefly devoted his attention. Tho question of public ownership of this sytsem camo up in 1905 nnd subsequently was carried to tho legislature, but the villago finally voted not to buy it and it has remained in the ownership of the Brattleboro Water Works of which Mr. Crowell was the head and which has been managed by his son, Christie B.

Urowell. Mr. Urowell began in 1883 to convert 25 acres of the Chestnut hill property into a public park, laying out avenues, bridging a deep ravine, constructing grounds for games, a fish pond and various other features that go with a first; class park without objectionable features. For a time it was used to a considerable extent, but the public never utilized it to tho extent that its attractiveness warranted. A part of it has since been given up to residences.

About 110 yeais ngo Mr. Crowell erected the large frame structure on Flat street which since hns been known as the jelly mill, for tho Brattleboro Jolly and for a number of years an extensive business was conducted there in tho manufacture of cider jelly and cucumber pickles. The ell part of tho building recently was sold. The building known ns Tho Cottage, west of tho Chestnut hill reservoir, was completed in 1880. Beginning the previous year and continuing a number of seasons the building was used for tho accommodation of fresh air children from New York and Brooklyn under tho management of Dr.

Judson. Mrs. Crowell and several assistants enring for tho children here. The par ties sometimes numbered 50 or more. Throughout the principal years of tho activity of the Carpenter manufacturers of cottage organs, Mr.

Crowell was president and principal owner. Tho company did a prosperous business at its factory on Elliot street nnd had a bright outlook for Increased business, when tho Europoan war broko out and created conditions which mado liquidation of tho business seem advisable tho present year. Tho Crowell residence, on a fine estate just south of the junction of High and Groen streets, was built by a Confederate general, Gen. Buckner, and later becamo known as the Char-lier place. Mr.

Crowell acquired the estate in 1888, re-named the residenco Lindenhurst and spent two years enlarging and improving it, making it ono of tho handsomest residences in this part of tho state. The family occupied it for the first time in February, 1890. Tho funeral, in accordanco with Mr. Crowell 's often expressed wish, will be Btrictly private. The funeral was held Monday at 2.30 o'clock at the houso and was private.

Y. FARMER NEEDS INSURANCE. Suggestions for Meeting This Need by Dopartmont of Agriculturo Variety of Risks Considered. Four kinds of property insurance nro written in which tho farmer is particularly interested. Thcso nre, insurance of buildings against loss by flro or lightning, insurance of tho snmo objects against loss by windstorm, insurance of growing crops against hail, and insurance of livestock against death by dis-caso or accident.

To tho average farmer tho first two kinds of insurance usually mako tho strongest nppcal. Ono reason for this is doubtless tho feeling that firo and windstorm nro tho destructive agencies that most frequently, at a single stroke, deprive their victims of tho accumulated earnings of many years. Perhaps a second reason, why farmers usually first provido themselves with firo and windstorm insuranco is the fact that these are, as a rule, relatively less expensive than tho other two kinds of insuranco here considered. By this is meant that a larger pcrCentago of tho- money collected from tho insured can bo used to Compensate the sufferers of loss than is the case with hail or livestock insurance. A simpldr organization is possible, and fraudulent claims are more easily guarded against.

Tho fact that hail and livo-stock in surance are less genorally carried by the farmers of tho Unitod States docs not signify that thcso forms of protection nre not important. Under certain circumstances and conditions they may even outrank in importance the othor two. As tho American farmer learns to make of agriculture moro strictly a science, and to eliminate, as far as possible, tho element of chance, ho will doubtless insist on the further development of all tho kinds of insuranco here enumerated, and perhaps of still othors. low inrmers are so rich that tney can wisely go without insurance. Happily few are so poor that they aro compelled to go without a safeguard that to tho average farmer may bo classed as a necessity.

Tiic very farmer who has but few buildings and little personal property, and is perhaps less ablo to pay for insurance protection, is really the one who can least afford to go without it. Hence tho importance of male- nc insurance as cheap as it is possible to make it and yet havo it cfliciont and dependable. About two-fifths of tho farmers in the United States have found a method of providing themselves with lire insurance at greatly reduced cost through mutual or co-operative insurance associations, mbracing a singlo county or some such limited territory. Dependable and cheap windstorm insurance has similarly been provided by means of larger mutual companies, often operating in close relationship with tho local fire-insurance mutuals. Local windstorm-in-suranco companies have, however, in soveral instances, been taught by experience, and to their own sorrow, that while each group of farm buildings nnd to a considerable extent each building within tho group constitutes a separate nnd distinct rlnS so far as tho flro hazard is concerned, tho samo is not true with reference to tho windstorm haz ard.

Safety and stability in windstorm nsurance demand that tho amount of insurance bo largo and tho risks widely scattered. Tho same is truo ot hal insurance. A smaller number of farmers havo also provided themselves with hail and livestock insuranco by menns of mutual associations. While a number of theso associations have a successful record covering many years, compnnies representing theso kinds of insuranco have been less generally successful than have farmers' mutual fire-insurance and windstorm-insurance companies. Some of tho reasons for this difference success have already been suggested.

Not infrequently letters como to tho department of ngriculturo relating stories of hardships duo to losses of prop erty not covered by insurance, and asK-ing if some provision does not exist by which tho department can aid deserving farmers who havo met with special dis aster to their property. Tho answer to such inquiries must, ot course, be the negative. Tho office of markets and rural organization of tho department has undertaken a careful study of various kinds of property insurance of interest to tho farmer. The information in its possession is at tho disposal of groups of farmors who desire to organise with tho view of providing under fa-vorablo conditions with ius.uanee best adapted to their good rur. rRC3P3CT3.
