WILL F. CROW

Will F. Crow, teacher of the public school of West Liberty, was born 
in Marshall county, W.Va., November 23, 1865, the son of Martin and 
Eveline (Davis) Crow, both natives of Marshall county. 
Martin is the son of Jacob Crow, a well-known early settler of 
Marshall county, who was born in that county February 11, 1797, and 
died in 1884. He was married October 16, 1824, to Damaris Terrill, 
who was born at Fairfield, Conn., August 23, 1800, and died October 
25, 1886.  Her parents removed to West Virginia in 1804.  He had nine 
sons and three daughters.  Martin Crow, who was born September 3, 
1831, was a farmer in early manhood, and until 1850, when he learned 
the blacksmith's trade.  He then purchased a farm near Glen Easton, 
where he followed his trade. He was married November 27, 1856, to 
Eveline Davis, who was born December 8, 1831. She lost her mother 
before she was a year old, and was then taken to Ohio, where she 
lived until near the time of her marriage. By this union she had one 
son, Will F., born November 23, 1865, and two daughters, Josephine, 
born March 9, 1859, and Nora, born December 29, 1862.  Will F. was 
educated in the common schools of Marshall county, spending one term 
at Moundsville, and completed his studies at the state normal school 
at West Liberty.  He was then, in the fall of 1889, tendered a 
position in the West Liberty school, which he is filling with credit.  
His family is among the oldest and worthiest in the upper Ohio 
valley.
