General Notes: Husband - Hugh Lowman


He attended the common schools of Young township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and Jacksonville Academy, following which he taught school for four years at Frog Pound school and in Young township. At that time he began to learn the trade of carpenter with his brother Alexander, and eventually entered the contracting and building business in Young township. In 1862 he went to war as a member of a company organized in Young township, but after two weeks this organization returned, as it was found it could not be used. Mr. Lowman continued to follow contracting and building in Young township until 1888, in which year he moved to Clarksburg, in Conemaugh township, and purchased a large and comfortable home. Upon this residence he made extensive improvements, and it became one of the handsomest and most valuable homes to be found in Clarksburg. Mr. Lowman continued to follow his trade, being employed as a carpenter by the Pittsburg Gas and Coal Company at the Clarksburg mine, and in nine years he lost but fifteen days from his employment. In 1867 Mr. Lowman was elected justice of the peace, an office which he held for more than forty years, and he was known all over the county as "Squire" Lowman. He also served in the capacity of school director, and for many years was a member of the school board.
