Lowley, ex-county judge of Seward county, died of pneumonia last Thursday, after a short illness. The first information that many persons had of his illness was about 10 o'clock that morning, when a report was circulated that he could not live until night. An hour later it was announced that he was dead, and another of the early pioneers of this county had gone to his reward. Judge Lowley was born in Leeds, England, March 5, 1842, and came to America with his parents when but a mere lad. They first settled in Pennsylvania, but in 1854 moved to Indiana, where the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 11th Indiana Volunteer Infantry and served until the Battle of Ft. Donaldson, where he was severely wounded and subsequently discharged. Before enlisting in the army he had connected with the Tipton (Ind.) Republican, and had also devoted some time to the study of law. Soon after returning home from the war he was admitted to practice, and continued in the practice of law in that state until 1870, when he came to Nebraska, first settling at Lincoln and a year later coming to Seward. He took up a homestead when he first came to this county, but with the exception of a few years had resided continuously in Seward since 1871. He served three consecutive terms as county judge, being first elected in 1881, and also one term in the state senate in the early 90's, while for a number of years he has served as city attorney of Seward. He was twice married, first to Miss M. W. Long in 1867, who died in 1889. His second marriage was to Miss Jennie McMullen, in 1891, who survives him. Seven children were born to the first union, J.S. Lowley of McCook, Mrs. May Haines of Fairmont, W. Va., Mrs. M. Hunt of El Paso, Ill., and Earl and George of Seward. J.S., Earl, George and Mrs. Hunt were present at the funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. John Gallagher at the M.E. church at 2 o'clock Sunday in the prescence of a large congregation. Members of the G.A.R. and Ben Hur attended in a body, he being a meber of both orders in addition to the Woodmen of the World. In the latter order he carried $2,000 insurance. The floral offerings were very beautiful, and consisted of a wreath by the Woman's club, a broken wheel by the attorneys, lyre by the city officials, crescent by the G.A.R., pillows by the Woodmen of the World, Tribe of Ben Hur and the children and a bunch of lilies by the Rebekahs The acting pallbearers were T.L. and R.S. Norval, D.C. McKillip, R.P. Anderson, M.D. Carey and C.E. Holland, all Seward attorneys. The honorary pallbearers were J.P. Dunham, H.T. Jones, I.D. Neihardt, W.J. Woods, Wm. Redford and Thos. Corr. The remains were laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery. Seward Independent Democrat, Seward, NE, Thurs, April 3, 1902
