Michigan Jackson
In company with Stephen Monroe, in 1840, Mr. Stowell built a furnace and machine shop on the south side side of Main street, on the lot next east from the Methodist church, where they continued in business for two years, when they sold the property to Alonzo Bennett and Geo. B. Cooper. From this time for several years he was actively employed in the interests of the Jackson County Mutual Insurance Company, then doing a large and successful business in Illinois and Michigan. Mr. Stowell was engaged in the mercantile business from 1854 to 1863. He has always been an active, energetic business man, and has done all in his power to promote the prosperity of Jackson. He has built quite extensively in all parts of the town, both stores and houses. Mr. Stow#ell, though some years past the three score years aud ten allotted to man, is still as hale and hearty and active as most men when they have attained to half a century. His genial and pleasant countenance is seen daily
upon our streets.
