ROBERT LOWRY
PASSED AWAY AT HOME OF HIS SON IN RICHWOOD TUESDAY
Mr. T. E. Vineyard received a telegram Tuesday announcing the death of Robert Lowry, which occured at the home of his son, W. H. Lowry, in Richwood, Tuesday, January 4th, 1916, following a long illness of heart trouble. Mr. Lowry spent most of his life in Roane County, near Linden, and was well known here. He went to Richwood several years ago to make his home with his son, who is a prosperous timber contractor. The body will arrive in Spencer to-day and will be taken out to Linden for interment to-morrow.

ROBERT WILLIAM LOWRY
The body of Robert William Lowry, announcement of whose death appeared in the Times-Record last week, arrived in Spencer last Thursday morning and was taken out to Linden the same day and laid to rest in the old Lowry burying ground on Friday. The burial was in charge of the Linden Lodge A.F. & A.M., of which the deceased had been a member for many years. Rev. A. H. Bailey conducted the funeral services. A large gathering of former neighbors was present to witness the last sad rites over the remains of one whom they had known and respected.
Mr. Lowry was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Harrison Lowry and was born in Monroe County, then Virginia, in 1844. The elder Lowry died when Robert was but a small boy; the mother again married to William Ferrell and moved to Linden in this county about 1850. The deceased is survived by a half-brother, James Ferrell, of Linden, and a half-sister, Mrs. P. A. Tallman, of Tariff.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, young Lowry enlisted on the side of the Confederacy and served through to the end of that sanguinary conflict. Although he was in the thickest of the fight at Cloyd's Mountain, Malvern Hill and Gettysburg, yet he was never wounded and returned to Roane County to make his home. Shortly after the close of the war, Mr. Lowry was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Chapman, also of Linden. Mrs. Lowry passed away in 1884 and he was never married again.
Surviving their union are the following children: M. H. Lowry, of Linden; W. H. Lowry, L. L. Lowry and Del Lowry, of Richwood; Van Lowry, E. G. Lowry, Robert Lowry and Wade Lowry, of Washington State; and Mrs. Flora Surface, of Newton, W.Va.
The deceased went to Richwood about 1900 to engage in the timber business with his sons and was a resident of that city thereafter until death. "Bob" Lowry, as he was known to hundreds of friends in the county, was a likeable, genial fellow and many a heart is sad because he has passed over the Silent River.

She professed religion at an early age, and joined the Christian Baptist church, of which she lived a consistent member till death. All who knew her loved her.

Her bereaved children have the sympathies of all who knew their dear mother. May she rest in peace.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus, O how sweet!
To be for such a slumber meet
With holy confidence to sing,
That death has lost its venomed sting.
