CROSWELL, Charles M., statesman, born in Newburg, New York, 31 October 1825; died in Adrian, Michigan, 13 December 1886. He was apprenticed to the carpenter's trade in Adrian, but in his twentieth year began the study of law, and soon became deputy County clerk. In 1850 he was City registrar, and was re-elected in 1852. Mr. Croswell became mayor of Adrian in 1862, and in the autumn of that year entered the state senate.
