He m. 3d at Athol, Mass., 8 Jan. 1901, Clara S. Hill, dau. of John C. and Dolly (Smith) Hill, b. Athol, Mass., 23 Jan. 1844.
Resided in Orange, Greenfield, Tully and
Henry R. Stowell, one of Athol's ablest and most successful business men, died very suddenly in Sept. 1914, at his home on School street from heart disease, caused by an acute attack of indigestion.
Henry Rufus Stowell was born in Petersham June 19, 1832, the oldest of three children of Rufus and Anna (Allen) Stowell. The brother, Austin, died about two years ago in Tully, and the sister died at 18 years of age.

Plenry R. Stowell lived on the farm till he was 16, then worked on a farm in North Amherst, later in Deerfield. Then he became foreman in a mattress factory- in Greenfield. Being a man of much mechanical ability, he invented machinery for mattress making and this took him West to Indiana and Illinois,
where he engaged in erecting- machinery for a cotton factory. After a while he returned East, and opened a grocery store in Greenfield About this time he married a niece of Joseph Pierce, the wooden ware manufacturer of Tully, and he removed to that place to enter the business, which became known as Pierce & Stowell. The business prospered, but in the financial crash of 1857 it suffered heavily. It got upon its feet again, after strenuous effort, only to have the factory swept away by fire. Recovering from this blow, after characteristic energy, Mr. Stowell finally put the business on a sound and permanent basis. In 1882, Mr. Stowell removed his residence to Athol, buying the beautiful property on School street owned by Fred Allen. This estate he made continuous improvements on at large expense, and it became one of the most attractive residential properties in town. A memorable occurrence in Mr. Stowell's eventful life was the burglary of his residence on Thanksgiving night, 1889, and the robbery from the safe of papers, notes, bonds and securities
valued at abort $50,000. The most of this property was recovered after a long course of clever detective work which Mr. Stowell himself engineered. Two of the robbers were caught and served several years in state prison. Mr. Stowell continued his furniture business at Tully, later in company with Frank C. Worrick, as Stowell & Worrick. They made chiefly tables which had a wide market, even as far off as Australia. A few years ago Mr. Stowell sold his interests in the, business to his partner, who still operates it. In 1862, Mr. Sowell. with his foreman and four other employes in the shop, enlisted in the Civil war in Co. F, 52d regiment, to fill the quota of his village, and thus prevented a draft upon the town. The factory was closed. Only four of these six
men lived to return home. Mr. Stowell was a very useful man in the army, and served for a time as secretary to (den. N. P. Banks. In his return from the war he reopened bis factory at Tully. Mir. Stowell was married three times. His first wife was Lucina Houghton, who died in less than a year after the marriage. Later he married Ellen A. Davis, daughter of Jarvis Davis of Royalstom By her he had three daughters, Carrie, who became the wife of Wm. H. Jewell, a prominent attorney in Florida, now deceased; Bertha, and Delia. His third wife was Miss Clara S. Hill of Athol, whom he married about 14 years ago. She with the three daughters survive. He also leaves a grandson, Carlcton S. Gayiior, son of Mrs. Bertha Gaynor, of whom he was exceedingly
fond. After coming to Athol Mr. Stowell became very active in local business and social life. He was vice president and a trustee of the Athol savings bank and member of the board of investment, director of the Millers River bank, president and chief owner of the Millers River Manufacturing company, makers of blankets, until its dissolution a few years ago. lie was an active spirit in other business interests, and his sound and experienced judgment was highly valued by his business associates. Personally, Mr. Stowell was a most genial, kind-hearted and companionable man, a great favorite in social circles, a splendid entertainer, capital story teller and a man of unbounded hospitality. He greatly enjoyed outdoor life and sport. He went on fishing trips to Maine almost every year, and enjoyed cottage life at his retreats in Northfield Farms and Sportsman's Pond with the relish of an ardent and healthful nature. His home life was exceedingly happy and he delighted in surrounding himself with his friends. A charter member of the Poquaig Club, he was a constant
visitor there and took great pleasure in cards. He was fond of travel and has been all over this country. He was one of the oldest members of the Orange lodge of Masons. He belonged to the 2d Unitarian church, a member of the executive committee, and was one of the largest contributors to the church. In politics he was a strong Democrat, but very liberal in his judgments of all parties. He might easily have won high political honors had he cared for such a career. Pie was a great reader of newspapers, magazines and good literature generally, and he was remarkably well informed on matters touching every phase of current life. Considering him in all his relations, in his manifold activities and experiences, it will be admitted that Henry R. Stowell was a very uncommon man, and with his death a strong force passes out of local life, to be more sincerely missed for years to come.3,2
