LOWE DIES SATURDAY Citizens of Johnson county were saddened last Saturday morning, April 23, when they heard that John A. Lowe had passed away peacefully in his sleep some time early that morning at his home, near Shupe's Mill. He was in his eighty-third year. Mr. Lowe had, during his long life, been circuit court clerk here for eight years, assistant postmaster at Mountain City for 17 years, taught school in the county for a number of years, and was active in the affairs of the Baptist church. He was married to Sofia Loretta Wills on April 21, 1887, and Mrs. Lowe preceded him in death in September of 1948. Mr. Lowe died just two days after what would have been their 62nd wedding anniversary, if Mrs. Lowe had survived just seven months longer. He was a deacon of the Mountain City First Baptist Church for more than 50 years, during which he had served as a Sunday school teacher and superintendent, and as church clerk. Funeral services were held from the Baptist Church here last Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, with the pastor, Joel H. Ponder, officiating. Interment was in the Phillippi cemetery. Grandsons served as pallbearers, and members of the Young Matrons Class of the church served as flower bearers. Surviving are four daughters; Mrs. C. O. Shupe, Mrs. Ethel Goodwin, Mrs. Gertie Fritts, and Mrs. Myrtie Jenkins, all of this community, and two brothers, Alex and David Lowe of Jonesboro. Twenty grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren also survive.
