JOHN COWELL, a farmer of
Castoria Township, was born in New York State, January 2, 1842. He moved to
Grant County, Wisconsin, in 1845, where he remained until 1861, when he went to
the State of Nevada. A year later he came to Castoria township and purchased
the farm where he now resides. It contains 1,133 acres. He is one of the
largest grain-raisers in this section of the country; he has several
threshing-machines run by engines, and does a great deal of threshing for his
neighbors. He also raises some fine stock and some thoroughbred horses. He has
a nice little home for his family, and takes a great interest in the education
of his children. His wife, E. F. (Sanders) Cowell, was born in New York State
in 1849. They have five children, namely: Hattie V., Ella A., Clara C., Mary E.
and Otis M.
