Biographical History
Stowe was born (August 4, 1828) in Halifax, Vermont, the son of David and Elizabeth (Crosier) Stowe. He worked as a farm hand in his youth and then as a carpenter in Vermont and in North Adams, Massachusetts. He came to Waterville, Minnesota (June 26, 1856) and secured a homestead claim of 160 acres, erected a log house, and built the first hotel in Waterville, which he operated for one year (1857). Returning to his claim in 1858, he farmed the land, raising cattle, horses, and sheep, and making butter. He also served in the Minnesota Legislature (1873) as Indian agent at the White Earth Indian Reservation (1874-1878) and as assessor and supervisor of Waterville Township. Stowe was also active in the Protestant Episopal Church.
On May 11, 1850, he married Hannah A. Babcock of Readsboro, Vermont. They were the parents of eight children. Hannah Stowe died September 8, 1900, and Lewis on September 3, 1911.
