Enos J. Crowther, City Attorney, was born in England, September 24,
1852, and while yet a child his father came to this country and
settled in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1865.  He received a good educa-
tion at the High School in this city, and graduated in 1873, at the
head of his class.  He taught school in Holt County for some time,
and studied law with the present judge of the Circuit Court, W. H.
Sherman.  He attended the law course at the University of Michigan,
and after receiving his degree he returned home and was admitted to
practice before Judge Grubb, March 4, 1875.  After being admitted,
he spent a year or more in traveling in Mexico for a large mining
company.  On his return home, he was very soon elected to fill a
seventeen month vacancy in the City Register's Office.  At the next
election he was renominated and elected for the full term.  After
faithfully discharging the duties of Register for nearly four years,
to the entire satisfaction of his constituents, he was nominated by
the Republican party for City attorney, and over his popular comp-
etitor, William Fitzgerald, was elected by a large vote.  He is one
of the rising young attorneys of the city.  He married Miss Effie G.
Barrett in February, 1880.  She was the daughter of Dr. Barrett, 
late surgeon in the United States Army.
