MARION CROW, Hollister, San Benito county, California, came to this 
State from Crawford county, Missouri, in 1871. His father, Joseph Crow, 
mined in California as early as 1849, as will be seen by reference to the sketch of W. J. 
Crow elsewhere in this work. 

Marion Crow was born in Crawford county, Missouri, December 13, 1853. He was vari- 
ously employed until finally he took up farming, and located where he now lives, in the 
vineyard district, about six miles southwest of Hollister. Here he has 600 acres of farm- 
ing and grazing land, about 125 acres of which are under cultivation. 

Mr. Crow was married in 1875, to Miss Emma Whitton, of Napa, California. They 
have four children: Cassie A., Mary E., John F. and Josephine.
