Springfield Daily News
Front page, Weds, Aug 17, 1921, lengthy article but here are excerpts of the 
death of John S Crowell -
FOUNDER OF GREAT PUBLISHING HOUSE ANSWERS SUMMONS.
John S Crowell, 71 years old, founder of one of the nation's largest publishing 
houses, manufacturer, banker and public spirited citizen of Springfield, died 
at Christ Hospital at Cincinnati at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, after 
having been a patient sufferer from disease for nearly two years. Cancer of the 
stomach is given as the cause of his death.
John S Crowell was born in Louisville, KY, Jan 7, 1850. He was the seventh 
child, born to his parents, Mr and Mrs Stephen B Crowell.  Mr Crowell is 
survived by his widow, Mrs Elvira C Crowell and two daughters, Mrs Sumner Cross 
of Cincinnati and Mrs Elwood Myers of Springfield; a brother George Crowell of 
Springfield, and a sister, Mrs Sarah Crowell of Louisville, KY. 
Mr Crowell spent most of his life in the printing and publishing business. His 
father, S. B. Crowell, was a member and one of the founders of the Walnut 
Street Presbyterian Church of Louisville, KY, of which he was elected a deacon 
for life.

FUNERAL SERVICE OF J.S. CROWELL SET FOR FRIDAY.
The funeral of John S Crowell, 71, banker, philanthropist and foudner of The 
Crowell Publishing Company, who died in Cincinnati on Wednesday, will be held 
Friday afternoon at three o'clock at the Convenant Presbyterian church. Burial 
will be made in the Ferncliff Cemetery.
Mr Crowell's body was taken to his home at 1127 East High St Thursday 
afternoon. It arrived in this city Wednesday afternoon. 
He became a patient at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati last month in the hope of 
saving his life, an operation was performed but to no avail. For the last ten 
days, he had been unconscious.
Mr. Crowell had become so emancipated during his long illness, that it has been 
deemed wise not to open the casket for friends in this city.
It is expected that Rev. Dr. Charles Ryan Adams, pastor of the Covenant Church, 
will preach the funeral sermon. He is now out of the city on his vacation. He 
will probably be assited by Rev. Dr. E.P. Thompson, a former pastor of the old 
Second Presbyterian Church. 
Close friends and business associates will be pall bearers. They are: W.S. 
Thomas, George W Winger, Captain E.L. Buchwalter, General J. Warren Keifer, 
Colonel David King, Frank M Bookwalter, Scipio E Baker and H.S. Bradley. 
Announcement was made Thursday afternoon that the Crowell Publishing plant 
would be closed during Friday afternoon as a mark of respect to the memory of 
John S. Crowell.
