Miss Susan E. Crowell. . 
Miss Susan Elizabeth Crowell died 
suddenly on Thursday, Feb. 13, at the 
Hotel Belvoir, Boston, where she was 
spending the winter. 
Miss Crowell was a native of Man- 
chester, being a daughter of the late 
Captain Samuel and Susan Crowell. 
She was born July 22, 1832, and spent 
the early years of her life in Manchester. 
Before the war she and her ‘sister were 
governesses in a Virginian family. “They 
returned to Manchester after the warand 
remained for a few years, when they 
went with their brother to California. 
Their brother was very successful in 
Colorado Springs. 
Emily Crowell died a few years ago 
and her death was followed closely by 
that of her brother, Benjamin F. 
Crowell. 
DOWNS 
It was after the latter’s death that Miss 
Crowell proposed to build a Memorial 
chapel in Manchester. At a_ special 
Town meeting held Sept. 22, 1902, the 
town voted to accept the gift of a memo- 
rial chapel fron Susan E. Crowell, to be 
known as the “* Benjamin F. Crowell 
Memorial Chapel.’’ ‘The gift was as a 
testimonial from Miss Crowell to her 
brotier. 
For the past three or four years Miss 
Crowell has resided in Boston, but she ~ 
has spent much of her time either at 
Manchester or Magnolia in the summer 
season. 
Funeral services will be held Monday 
afternoon in the Crowell Memorial 
chapel, at 2 o'clock.
