Mrs. Eugenia p. Lowry Called to Her
Reward.


many friends Of Mrs. Eugenia Pos
tell Lowry were shocked to learn of
her sudden death, which occurred at
her home here on Friday, January
9Th, at | p. m. While her health had
been on the decline for several
months and she had lately been in
disposed, it was not thought that she
was dangerously i'll. 1t is thought
that the immediate cause Of her
death was heart failure.
Mrs. Lowry was the second daugh-
ter of the late John Bayls Earle
and Jane Anne (Fowler) Earle.
and was born at Deep Creek, Ander-
son District, April 5th, 1845. On
December Is, 1866, she and Joseph
Nj. Adams were married. OF this
union two children were born. O.
Adams, Of Seneca, and one daughter,
Edith Jane, who died at the age Of
about 10 years. She was a bright
and beautiful girl and died while
away from home at school. Joseph
NJ. Adams died at the age of about
Al years and his widow was after
wards married to William A. Lowry,
on February 20, 1879. or this union
four sons and one daughter are liv-
ing, to wit: Earle W., CHRISTOPHER S..
Bright A., Ullin s., and Miss Olive
A. Lowry, all Of Seneca and Oconee
county. One sister, Mrs. Anna w.
Earle, widow Of Joseph H. Earle, of
Greenville, is also living. Another
sister, Mrs. j. S. Fowler, Of Ander-
son, died a few months ago.
Mrs. Lowry was a member of Grace
Episcopal church, Anderson, in which
she had held her membership for
many years.
At the home here on Saturday at
2 D. m, appropriate funeral services
were conducted in a most impressive
manner by Rev. |. E Wallace, Of the
Presbyterian church, the services be-
ing attended by numerous friends.
At p m. special train carried the
bier and funeral party over the Blue
Ridge railroad to Anderson, where,
at 4.3O O'Clock, the body was inter-
red in the family plot in the Presby-
terian cemetery, after religious SER
vices conducted by Rev. J. II. Glib
honey, rector of Grace Episcopal
church.
In many respects Mrs. Lowry was
remarkable woman. She came of
the distinguished Earle family which,
q prominent and influential part in
the development Of this section of
the State. Her father was a large
landed proprietor and enterprising
citizen, who gave mis- children the
very best educational advantages Of
their day and time. In intellectual
grasp and business acumen Mrs Low
ray had few equals. She managed
her own affairs with conspicuous
ability, always showing the kindest
consideration for her employees, whe-
ther as tenants on farm lands or in
any other capacity. She was a wo-
man Of the highest culture and was
a devotee Of the best literature. In
refinement, blessing and benediction
to the members of her household and
friends who often partook Of her hos
pitality. Her memory is a precious
legacy for her children, and in it they
are blessed
The passing of this good woman is
the source of great sorrow to many,
not alone in Seneca, but wherever
she was known, and we join with 9TH
ers in extending to the bereaved ones
our deep sympathy in their sorrow.
