General Notes: Husband - William S. Lowman

---

He attended the public school near his home and worked on the home farm until nineteen years of age, then began the carpenters' trade under Hugh Lowman, his paternal uncle, a contractor and builder, who had learned his trade with Alexander Lowman. William S. worked with his uncle as apprentice for three years, then worked at his trade around the county until 1890, in which year he moved to Braddock, Pennsylvania, where he worked as a journeyman carpenter for nine years. In 1899 he began contracting on his own account, and built many houses. He employed many men in his contracting operations, was always busy, having to his credit twenty-five buildings erected in one year. He was himself a skilled mechanic, the skill of his father having descended to the son. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, served his church as trustee and in 1910 was elected elder. He was a Republican in politics, and was a member of Braddock City council.

The family residence was at Fourth street and Comrie avenue, Braddock, which Mr. Lowman erected in 1905.
