Lowe, one of the pioneer settlers in this part of Nebraska, passed away at the home of his son, John, Jr., at St. Paul Tuesday evening June 28 at 9:30 o'clock at the age of 72 years, 11 months and 16 days. Mr. Lowe was taken seriously ill on June 4th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jessie Fox, south of Wolbach, and was removed to the Sallman hospital at St. Paul for treatment, and later to the home of his son at that place. Although his condition seemed to be somewhat improved, he remained critically ill until his death came. Funeral services will be held Friday, July 1, 2:00 p.m. at the Wolbach Methodist church. The body will be brought to Wolbach Friday morning and after 10 o'clock will be lying in state at the church until the time of the funeral. Rev. Primrose of St. Paul is to conduct the service. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe came to Nebraska from Red Oak, Iowa, almost fifty years ago and after living a short time in Nance county, took a homestead north of Wolbach on what is now the Dr. Holm farm. Mrs. Lowe passed away Oct. 21, 1927. For more than four decades Mr. and Mrs. Lowe and their children have taken their part among those who have helped in building up this community. The children and other surviving relatives have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends here in their bereavement at this time. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, June 30, 1932 Funeral Services Held For J. M. Lowe – The remains of J. M. Lowe, long time resident of this community were laid to rest in Hillside cemetery here last Friday afternoon, the funeral services being held at the Wolbach Methodist Church at 2 p.m. The body was brought from St. Paul where Mr. Lowe passed away Friday morning and lay in state at the church until the services were held. Rev. Primrose of St. Paul Presbyterian church delivered the sermon as was requested by Mr. Lowe before his death. Rev. Primrose gave a very impressive talk and was assisted in the service by Dr. R. A. White and Rev. H. A. Feldman of Wolbach. Dr. White's reminiscences of some events in the life of Mr. Lowe during the early history of this community, which gave testimony of his public spirit and generosity, were of much interest to the congregation. The Wolbach Odd Fellows, of which lodge Mr. Lowe was a charter member, were in attendance and had charge of the services at the cemetery. The church was filled, and many of those who came to pay their last respects to the departed friend were unable to find a place within the building. A wealth of floral gifts were in evidence about the casket and the altar. Following is a sketch of the life history of Mr. Lowe: OBITUARY – John Miner Lowe was born in Maryland, Hartford County, July 12, 1859 and died at the home of his son in St. Paul, Nebr., June 28, 1932, age 72 years, 11 months, 16 days. He was married to Sinnia Ann Gregg at Red Oak, Iowa in 1882, who proceeded him in death five years ago. To this union were born sixteen children, of whom seven preceded their parents in death. He is survived by five daughters, Jessie Fox of Wolbach, Emma Sawicki of Peetz, Colo., Arthella Ramsey of Arcadia, Keturah Aufderheide of St. Louis, Mo. and Ruby Douthit of Greeley, four sons, Trevor of Hollister, Idaho, Johnnie of St. Paul, Nebr., Dale of Boise, Idaho and Harold of the U. S. Navy, three brothers, Reasin of Haverly Grace, Maryland, Grant of Wolbach and Colfax of York, Pa., three sisters, Ruth Ann Morris of Stewartstown, Pa., Mrs. Wm. Messner of Wolbach and Mrs. Alie Anstine of Meadow Grove, thirteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren. With his wife he came to Nebraska the spring of 1885 and settled on a farm near Wolbach, later moving to town where he was active in several business enterprises. In 1918 he moved with his family on a farm one mile south of Wolbach where he lived until 1931 when he retired from the farm and again made his home in Wolbach. He, like his wife, in the pioneer days and until these later days was never too busy to help and assist where he was needed. He will be missed greatly by his children, relatives and a host of friends. He was a charter member of the Oddfellow Lodge and also the Rebekah Lodge from which he seldom missed a meeting of either. In his boyhood days he united with the Presbyterian church in Pennsylvania of which he has always remained a member. Crossed The Missouri On the Ferry – Mrs. Wm. Messner, sister of the late J. M. Lowe, who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Lowe to Nebraska from Iowa, tells of the thrill she experienced while crossing the Missouri river at Omaha in 1885 on the ferry. The angry Missouri lashed the ferry about until Mrs. Messner feared that the boat would break in two and drop them all into the water. Card of Thanks – Our sincere appreciation is extended to our neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown to us during the illness and at the time of the death of our beloved father. We especially thank the Oddfellows for their many acts of kindness and helpfulness, the ministers for their words of comfort and the choir for the music. We appreciate too the many floral gifts which were received. Mrs. Jessie Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Trevor Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Sawicki, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Aufderheide, Mr. and Mrs. John Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. Harold C. Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. Norion Douthit. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, July 7, 1932
