CROWELL, G.J. - G.J. Crowell was born in Graves Co., Kentucky in 1845. In the same county, eight years later, was born Julia Johana Walker, whose life for almost half a century was to run parallel to his own. They were married in 1871 and lived in Mississippi County, Mo. until 1892 when they moved to Texas. From there they came to Benton county, Arkansas where they spent the remainder of their lives. They, together, confessed their faith in Christ in the year of 1886 and were baptized at Clear Lake, Mississippi Co., Mo. After coming to Arkansas they affiliated with the Christian Church at Rogers under the pastorate of Rev. J.P. Dillon. Mrs. Crowell had been an invalid for many years, bearing her affliction with Christian fortitude and when the end came, Sept. 30, 1920 she seemed to fall into a peaceful sleep without any suffering. Mr. Crowell, who for so many years had cared for her and who had always enjoyed fairly good health, soon after her death took a severe cold which developed into pneumonia and after an illness of two weeks passed away to join his life companion on the other side, just six weeks after her burial. Their lives were blessed and their hours of pain comforted and cheered by the loving ministrations of their children of whom there are five, all living: Miss Ellen, Herbert and Mrs. Charley Dotson of Rogers; Mrs. Frank Dunn of Muskogee, Okla. and Walter of Grooms, Texas, all of whom with their families came to pay the last tribute of respect to their beloved parents. Mr. Crowell was one of the few remaining Confederate Soldiers and in accordance with his request was buried in a confederate uniform. In his early life he taught school, Mrs. Crowell as a young girl being one of his pupils. The high esteem in which this worthy couple were held was attested by the large number of friends who attended the funerals. In the beautiful little cemetery at Oakley's Chapel they lie side by side, together in death as they were in life, waiting the welcome call of The Master.
