       GEORGE M. CROWELL, M. D.,* the leading physician and surgeon
of Auburn, N. H., was born in Providence, R. I., August 10, 1872. His
parents were Otis F. and Emma F. (Bennett) Crowell. His paternal an-
cestors came to this country from England at an early day and settled on
the Cape. Most of them were sea captains. Otis F. Crowell, the Doctor's
father, however, was engaged in the meat business, in which he continued up
to the time of his death in Providence. When but seventeen years old he
ran away from home and went to Boston, where he enlisted for service in
the Civil War. For bravery and good service he was promoted from the
rank of private to that of corporal. His wife Emma, born in Providence,
R. I., is still a resident of that city. They had two children: George M.,
the subject of this sketch, and Arthur F., who is a teacher in the public
schools of Providence.
      George M. Crowell was educated in the public schools of Providence,

In 1895 he entered Harvard Medical College and was graduated M. D. in

he stayed four years, after which he spent five years in Providence, R. I.,
coming from there to Auburn, N. H., in June, 1913. Although a compara-
tively recent addition to the ranks of the medical profession in Rockingham
County, he bas proved his ability and has laid the foundations of a good
practice. He is a member of the Rockingham County Medical Society, the
New Hampshire Medical Society, the Rhode Island Medical Society and
