Military Service

     Albert Boyd Croskell began military service on 18 February 1946 at the age of 30 at March Field, Riverside, California, USA.5
     Albert B appeared on the 1920 Federal Census Glenmore Twp., La Moure County, North Dakota in the household of his parents, William and Laura K Croskill.11
     Albert B appeared on the 1930 Federal Census Glenmore Twp., La Moure County, North Dakota in the household of his parents, Dale and Kathryn Croskill.7
     Albert Boyd appeared on the 1940 Federal Census Glenmore Twp., La Moure County, North Dakota in the household of his parents, William and Laura Catherine Croskell.1 Boyd Croskellwas Best Man in the marriage of his brother, John F. Croskell and Josephine I. Eudey on 3 May 1947.12
     The following information regarding the accident that claimed the lives of Albert and two of his children, and injury to Edith is from my (Rick Moffat's) personal research , February 1965 :
"In February 1965, defendant Sawyer was found guilty by a jury of second degree murder of Albert Croskell as charged in count two of the indictment and she was also found guilty of unlawfully and feloniously inflicting a bodily injury upon one Edith Lucille Croskell as charged in count five of the indictment. These charges arose when the defendant drove an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and caused an automobile collision which resulted in the death of Mr. Croskell and in personal injuries to Mrs. Croskell. The defendant's 35(b) motion does not challenge her conviction for causing a personal injury as a result of driving a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and for which she received a four to five year term in the penitentiary. At the time of sentencing, the trial court ordered that the two sentences imposed upon her be served concurrently."

Further documentation shows that on Jun 13, 1964 Stella M Sawyer had been driving a vehicle under the influence of intoxicating alchol and that she collided with the Croskell car, killing Albert and injuring Edith Lucille Croskell. She was convicted of second degree murder (15-20 years) and causing personal injury (4 to 5 years).

The second degree murder conviction was later overturned.10,9

     In the obituary of Robert W. Croskell Sr. who died 28 June 2008, his brother, Boyd Croskell, was listed as predeceased.13
