General Notes: Husband - Hortensius Lowry


He was born in the old brick house, the first built on the home place, and spent his whole life on the family farm which came into his possession in 1839 by will from his grandfather and subsequent purchase of his sister's interest. His mother, after her marriage to Mr. Johnson, lived at the old place for six years, to 1839, then moved on to a farm about one mile east of the homestead. From 1839 to 1850 his sister kept house for him. Upon her removal West [to Iowa?], in 1850, he leased the farm to Robert Douglas, who carried it on to the time of his (Douglas') death.
To the original homestead tract of two hundred acres he added by purchase about two hundred more. His residence was built in 1878.
He was a life-long Democrat and was called upon to fill many of the township offices. He was often called upon to act as executor and administrator of estates in his township and elsewhere.
