LOWERY Mr. F.M. Lowery of near Hopewell, Ala., passed on to his reward Tuesday, Sept. 2. He is survived by three children, a daughter Miss Maude Lowery with whom he made his home; two sons, W.A. and J.N. Lowery of Tallapoosa, Ga., nine grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn his death. But our loss is his reward. And we weep not as those who have no hope, for we exepct to see him again on that great day of our Lord's return, or when He calls us home. He was raised in Douglas county, Ga., but moved to Cleburne county in 1884 and resided in or near the same community since. He was converted and joined the M.E. church at the age of 22 years and remained a faithful member of same until death. Mr. Lowery was a good father and husband, an upright citizen, honest in his dealings with his fellow man. One of his great desires was to owe no man anything, this desire being realized for many years. Mr. Lowery was an old Confederate soldier, serving under Capt. Tyler Peoples, Lieut. Burns Lovelace and Maj. Layton in Company B, a battalion of artillery. He was married Aug. 9, 1865 to Miss Ava Randalls and to this union eight children were born, three girls and five boys. He lived to the ripe old age of 84 years, four months and fifteen days, 14 years more than man's allotted time. A Granddaughter CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to the friends and neighbors of our father for the kindness shown during his sickness and death. Miss Maude Lowery, W.A. Lowery and family, J.N. Lowery and family.
