nitted TO the bar in 1867.
The fame OF Minneapolis as a city
Of opportunities had already reached
ne ears OF the young law student,
ana as soon as he had secured his
right to practice he started for Min.
nesota, reaching Minneapolis in July
81 1867, and opening an Office in the
cid Harrison block. Though the usual
experience of hard times and few
clients vs.; endured by the young
lawyer, III was not long before the
rare personal qualities, that won for
Mr.. Lowry material success and uni
versal regard, began to make them
selves felt in the community, and
within two years he had built up a
large practice. His first associate in
business was Judge A. H. Young, with
whom he established a partnership in
1869. This connection continued sue
cessfully until Judge Young was ap-
pointed to the bench of the Hennepin
county court of common pleas.
The energy and business acumen of
Mr.. Lowry's mind soon extended his
activities beyond the boundaries of his
law practice. Minneapolis began to
feel her young strength and the prom.
Use of her great future, and among the
men who saw the inevitable destiny
Of the city and the advantages to be
gained by this foresight, Mr.. Lowry
was prominent and active figure.
The little town began to assume the
proportions of city, and Mr.. Lowrys
imagination, directed by his keen
sightedness, saw it's infinite possibili-
ties. He gradually withdrew almost
entirely from the practice of law and
taking the savings that he had been
enabled to lay aside he fearlessly put
them into real estate, buying lots and
bits of acreage here and there, selling
to advantage and putting the money
thus gained into more property, until
he became one of the chief holders of.
and operators in, real estate in the
young city. He interested Eastern in
vestors and sold his holdings to spec.
ulators in business, residence and
suburban property, and his name be.
came known as daring and success
full business man.

Thomas Lowry was born Feb. u,
1S43, in Logan county, Illinois. He
was the son of Samuel r. and Rachel

century ago, and was one 0f tbe
many 1rishmen who moved westward
across the waters, as their sons 4id
later across the prairies, to become a
part of a new and undeveloped region.
His wife, Rachel Bullock, mother of
Thomas Lowry, was a native of Har.
risburg, Pa, who died in the prime of
her womanhood, leaving a family of
small children. In 1884 Samuel Lowry

Samuel and Rachel Lowry, three Of

Lowry's only sister died in this city
a number of years ago. His brother,
William Ross Lowry, served with dis.

the day that President Lincoln was
assassinated. In the death of Thomas
Lowry, therefore, the family loses its
last member.
The early years of Mr. Lowry's life

on a small farm in newly opened

American at the Kristiania Samlag, and

use that language than the Norwe-

he has been accustomed during long

Danish, but even German and Latin
