W. W. LOWE, M. D.
    Dr. W. W. Lowe, who is engaged in the practice of medicine in Gillett, where
he also conducts a drug store, was born in Albany, Missouri, in 1876, his
parents being W. P. and Nancy (Peck) Lowe. The father was a native of Tennessee
and a son of Joseph Lowe, who removed from Tennessee to Missouri, thus
establishing the family in that state. The mother, Nancy Peck, was a daughter of
William and Julia (McGonagel) Peck. Her father was from Tennessee and on
removing to Missouri settled in the county where the Lowe home had been
established. It was there that W. P. Lowe and Nancy Peck became acquainted and
were married. They afterward removed to Gillett, becoming well known residents
of this city. They reared a family of four sons and two daughters: W. W.; Dr. A.
M. Lowe, living at Little Rock; Sam, a resident of Gillett; C. C, who died in
1910; Mrs. F. E. Martin, also of Gillett; and Mrs. Marie Menard, who is living
in Lake Village.

    In the acquirement of his education Dr. W. W. Lowe, after completing his
elementary course, attended the Northwestern Missouri College. He later became a
student in the St. Louis University Medical School, for he had determined to
make the practice c£ medicine and surgery his life work. He completed the course
of study there by graduation with the class of 1903 and then located for
practice in Gillett, where he has remained. Here he has built up an excellent
practice, the number of his patients increasing year by year as he has
demonstrated his ability to cope with the intricate and involved problems that
continually confront the physician. He is very careful in the diagnosis of his
cases and is seldom, if ever, at fault in determining the outcome of disease. He
adds to his broad scientific knowledge a deep human sympathy and his attitude of
courage and cheer is often like a ray of sunshine in the sick room. In addition
to his practice he conducts a drug store in Gillett and in this connection has
built up a very satisfactory business. During the World war he was physician for
the exemption board.

     In 1911 Dr. Lowe was united in marriage to Miss Lillie Quertermous of De
Witt, Arkansas, a daughter of Ben and Nellie (Cannon) Quertermous, her father a
farmer and merchant of this section of the state. Dr. and Mrs. Lowe have become
parents of a son and a daughter: Benjamin and Nancy. Fraternally Dr. Lowe is a
Royal Arch Mason and along strictly professional lines he has membership in the
Arkansas County and Arkansas State Medical Societies, thus keeping abreast with
the trend of modern professional thought and progress. His ability is pronounced
and he is reaping the satisfactory rewards of his labors.
