esteemed in her own church, and in society
as lady and christian. In 1860 the
family moved to the town Of Goodhue,
where they lived until last fall, when on
account Of Mrs. Lowater's failing health,
they committed the care Of the farm to the
younger son, George W. Lowater, and re-
turned to Red Wing.

severe sufferer. Her disease was dropsy.
Mrs. Lowater was one Of the charter men,
bers Of the the Farmers Guild Grange, OF
Goodhue, and joined the Red Wing Grange
by demit last winter. She died as every
true Patron and Christian should die, with
full faith in God.
The last words she uttered were, 81 am
going" when her voice seemed to fail her.
Her sorrowing husband, anxious, doubt
less, to know her dying thoughts and to get
the last evidence Of her faith, asked where
she was going. She tried to answer, and
her husband seeing that the effort was too
great for her said, care you going to
Heaven. going to be with Jesus " and she
answered very distinctly "yes."
The funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian Church in this city, and were
conducted by Rev. J. W. Hancock, her first
pastor in Minnesota, as we'll as being the
pastor Of the church in Goodhue of which
she was member at the time of her death.
