From his obituary in the Harrington Citizens Newspaper: "In 1893 he left California with his cousin, Jim Crowley, came to Washington in the fall of 1893. Tom was 26 and Jim was 22 years of age, and these young men were 33 days coming overland in a one-seated hack. Two horses pulled them, and two were led back of the buggy. The autumn was wet, rain falling thirty days out of the thirty-three on the trip. These California sons "bunked in" with O G Williams of Mohler, and Tom Crowley and his brother-in-law, Mr. Williams, formed a farming partnership that lasted many years."
He married Ella Mae Craig 9 November 1904 Spokane, Spokane County, WA.
They farmed at Mohler in Lincoln County, WA. In 1912 they moved to Attalia, Walla Walla County, WA; Oaksdale, Whitman County, WA and in 1919 were in Deer Park, Spokane County, WA. He had a small but diversified farm near Deer Park. Temporary moves were made while living here so their children could attend state college in Cheney, WA. All of their children graduated from WSU.
Their children were:
Marian Crowley
Dean Crowley
Robert Craig Crowley
Wayne Howard Crowley
Ward Crowley
Milford T. Crowley
Margaret Crowley Waldo
Elinore Crowley Coogan
Kathryn Crowley Wolfstone
