A former Burgess of Tyrone, PA., Crowther died on May 3, 1863, while gallantly attempting to hold back the fierce Confederate onslaught at Chancellorsville. \u201cHis death is much regretted,\u201d wrote his commanding officer. \u201cHe was a brave and fearless soldier, esteemed by all.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Colonel Crowther Foundation hopes that the panel will be placed at a location of honor here as in Chancellorsville. A location where it can be viewed by all citizens of the borough helping them to become aware of the contribution made by this founding father of the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyrone Borough Council and Mayor Jim Kilmartin were presented with a panel of Colonel James Crowther by Colonel Crowther Foundation President Bob Hileman, Jr. this past Monday.
