History
Herbert Crowe (1856-1933) was a native of Clifton, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. He was the son of James and Harriet Crowe of Old Barns, Clifton, where his father operated a successful shipbuilding business. He died in Nova Scotia in October 1933.
Crowe established an extensive grain business in the Canadian West, later returning to Nova Scotia where he opened a lumber business in Halifax, known as the Crowe Lumber Co. He returned to the West where he established another lumber company in Winnipeg, called the Beaver Lumber Company. As his business prospered, he moved his headquarters to New York where he started a second grain business, becoming prominent as a buyer on the Grain Exchange.
Crowe retired from business in the first decade of the twentieth century, spending his summers in Nova Scotia and his winters in Boston and New York. He died in 1933.
