FRANK L. CROWLEY upholds the responsibilities of the management of one of the largest 
general stock ranches in Ventura County, is a very proficient man in the business, enjoys his 
work, and his substantial success in life seems assured.
Mr. Crowley, who was born at Los Angeles October 3, 1886, is a son of William Henry Crowley. 
In his native city he attended the grammar and high schools until he was sixteen, and then for 
two years was a student in Throop College at Pasadena. At the age of eighteen Mr. Crowley 
went to his father's ranch in Ventura County, and as a worker acquired a thorough knowledge 
of its management in every detail. This ranch, consisting of 2,259 acres, is situated on the 
Conejo. At the end of three years Mr. Crowley had advanced so far that he was entrusted with 
the active management of the ranch and that position he still holds. A large part of the land is 
devoted to general farming, but they also keep loo head of cattle, 400 hogs and 40 horses.
Mr. Crowley is a democrat. He was married at Los Angeles in October, 1910, to Miss May 
Casey. Their two children are Allen and Charlotte, the former four and the latter two years of 
age.
