JOHN LOWRY was born in Bowling Green, Warren county, Kentucky, August 9, 1830.
In 1849 he went to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and visited the place again in 1850 and
1851. In 1852 he crossed the plains to Oregon, in the employ of the government.
He participated in the Rogue river war, and during 1853 was scouting and
fighting for Joe Lane. After the war was over he was engaged in mining until the
fall of 1855, when he went to Humboldt bay for a year, and from there to San
Francisco. After visiting many of the mining camps, he came, in 1860, to Plumas
county, and mined on Wolf creek. Mining was his principal occupation till 1878,
since which time he has been engaged in farming and selling liquor. He took a
