Obituary for Edward Cromwell pioneer philanthropist and reformer
Edward Cromwell aged eighty seven died at his daughter's home in Denver after a long life of philanthropy and patriotism. Born in New York City he was the oldest direct descendant of Oliver Cromwell and once ran the largest flour mill in the United States. He helped organize the New York Produce Exchange and served as its secretary and treasurer for a decade. An active member of the New York Volunteer Fire Department and the United States Indian Commission he drafted a petition against a land deed contract and aided in saving Indian Territory and Oklahoma to the Union. During the draft riots of 1863 he organized troops and drilled Exchange members to defend Black residents, helped form the first New York regiment, then moved to Iowa in 1888, later returning to New York and finally settling in Colorado in 1906. His illness was long but without typical infirmities of old age.
