Frederick Frowe was born in England, February 11, 1827, and is a son of John and Mary Ann (Wood) Frowe, who are natives of England. When he was six years of age his parents came to the United States and settled in New York State, where they remained until 1849, and then came west and settled in Rockford, Illinois. Here Frederick engaged in farming for five years. In 1854 he came to Butler county, Iowa, and settled on section 29, Shell Rock township, where he now owns 200 acres of land. He was married in 1850 to Mary Ann Gunsalus. Seven children have been born to them, five of whom are now living – Ada Isabel, wife of William Mason, of this county; Antoinette, wife of James Mason; Effie, wife of Theodore Graham, of Grundy Center; Minnie, wife of John Walker, of Shell Rock, and Marchia. Mr. Frowe’s mother died in 1872, and his father followed her two years later. Mrs. Frowe was born on the Illinois river on a raft. Mr. Frowe built his fine house in 1871.
