John Crowther, Jr.

(FJW) John Crowther appears in the 1860 census for Poland Ohio, a county on the state's eastern border with Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh newspapers indicate that in December, 1868 he was injured in a boiler explosion while working at his brother Benjamin's iron forge on Furnace Row. He died a few days later. John was initially buried in the Crowther plot in Union Dale Cemetery. Union Dale and Homewood Cemetery records concur in noting that his body, along with his wife Thirza's, was moved to the Homewood Cemetery in 1906. Also buried in the Homewood plot is their eldest daughter Matilda Crowther Bresch and other descendants.
