Stowell, Albert D. (page 760), who was one of the early arrivals in
Mazeppa, and for many years a prominent figure in this part of the county, 
was born at Platteville, Wis., August 5, 1851, son of Francis A. and
Eunice L. (Deming) Stowell. He was only four years old when he accompanied
his parents to Wabasha county, locating with them on a farm near Mazeppa.
Subsequently he attended school in Mazeppa, and spent a year and a half at
the Minnesota State University. During the rest of his life he followed
farming in Chester Township. He served in various local offices, being
justice of the peace and at different times town treasurer, a member of
the board of supervisors, and a member of the school board. In 1863 he
enlisted in the army for service in the Civil War, and was discharged
September 27, 1865, at Nashville, Tenn., with an honorable record. Mr.
Stowall was married September 19, 1873 to Melinda Philley, daughter of
David L. and Clarissa L. (Eaton) Philley, her parents being natives of New
York state who settled in Chester Township, Wabasha County, Minn., in
1868. Her father subsequently acquired over 3,000 acres of land in this
state. He died March 18, 1903. His first wife, Clarissa, died December 23,
1893, and on December 19, 1894, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, of Lac
Qui Parle County, who survived him, and resides in Mazeppa. Albert D.
Stowell died June 25, 1905, and was survived by his wife, who is also a
resident of Mazeppa. Mr. Stowell was to all intents and purposes a pioneer
of this county, and left a good record of duty well performed and valuable
work accomplished as a builder up of the county. His name will occupy an
honorable place in its annals.
