JOHN A. LOWERY.

   John A. Lowery is a successful farmer of Democrat township, Carroll county,
and the proprietor of "Lawn View Farm," a tract of forty acres situated one mile
and three-quarters east and two miles north of Sedalia, this county.

   Mr. Lowery was born in Burlington township, Carroll county, Indiana, on
December 26, 1867, and is the son of William H. and Sarah M. (Anderson) Lowery.
William H. Lowery was born in Tennessee and his wife in Adams county, Ohio. She
was the daughter of Benjamin Anderson, who was born at Belfast, Ireland, and who
died in 1880, at the age of eighty-nine years. The late William H. Lowery, who
died in 1904, was a farmer of Carroll county, who removed to this county from
Clinton county, Indiana, in the spring of 1867 and who, after renting land for
three years, purchased eighty acres of land in Democrat township, where he spent
the remainder of his life. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant church
and was at one time very active in church work. His wife died in 1901. They had
four children, of whom John A. is the subject of this sketch: H. B. is a farmer
in Democrat township; Catherine I. is the wife of Charles Thomas, of Democrat
township; William H. is an undertaker of Forest Hill, Indiana.

   John A. Lowery, who was only three years old when the Lowery family removed
to Democrat township was educated in district school No. 9, of Democrat
township. He attended school in the winter time and worked at home on the farm
during the summer. District school No. 9, which he attended when a boy, was
situated on a corner of the Lowery farm. After working some twelve years by the
month, he had saved enough to begin farming on his own responsibility and for
some time rented land.

   On December 31, 1912, John A. Lowery was married to Mary I. Stephenson, the
widow of John Stephenson. By her first marriage, Mrs. Lowery had two children,
Ralph R. and George H. Stephenson. The former was born on July 18, 1903, and the
latter on October 9, 1904. By her marriage to Mr. Lowery, there has been born
one son, William Todd, who was born on September 1, 1913.

   Mr. Lowery is a man who bears an excellent reputation, of Democrat township.
He is a Democrat in politics and is a member of the township advisory board. As
a farmer he has made a specialty of raising a very good breed of live stock and
has been very successful.
