illness of pneumonia and typhoid fever DR.,
Robert Lowery, graduate Of the Medical
College Of South Carolina.
His religion was Catholic, his charities
are q living monument 70 his names honor.
His perseverance was seldom equaled. He
lived among the pOer as their equal, and
his great delight was TO help the needy
Although his talents and wealth might
have placed him among the rich and great,

his age was about 81 years; he was born in
Ireland and his nearest relations still re-
main there. His neighbors and friends
mourn his death.
