General Notes: Husband - Thomas Lowman


His education was somewhat limited, as his services were needed in assisting his parents to clear and cultivate the home place, and his boyhood was filled with the hardships and privations incidental to pioneer life. Until he was almost a grown man he owned no shoes making the moccasins which served him for footwear. As a youth he learned the art of distilling, and with his father made whiskey in a log house in the woods, selling the product in the surrounding towns. The poverty of his boyhood was succeeded by comfort and independence in his later years, and he became one of his section's most intelligent and progressive men. He acquired a farm of 150 acres, which he put in a high state of cultivation, but later removed to Young township, and there his death occurred, when he was sixty-eight years of age. For many years he served as road superintendent and overseer of the poor, and he was a lifelong member of the United Presbyterian Church.
