   STEPHEN LOWLEY, Postmaster of Tipton, was born in England, January 18, 1819.
He grew to manhood in his native country, learning, in the meantime, the
tailor's trade. He emigrated to America in 1845, and worked at his trade in
Boston, Hartford, Concord, New York, Philadelphia, Nashville and Memphis, Tenn.
In 1853, he located at Indianapolis, and in 1856 came to Tipton, where he has
since resided. He is a Republican, and has always been prominent in the politics
of his party. He was appointed Postmaster toward the close of Lincoln's first
administration, and has held that position continuously ever since, and in
connection therewith he has carried on the tailor's trade. He has been twice
married, first in England, in 1840, to Miss Martha Jackson, who died in
Pittsburgh while he was there working at his trade; the second marriage occurred
in Indianapolis, in 1854, to Miss Sarah C. Haugh. By his first wife, he has one
child-George W.; by his second, one child- Ardella. Mr. Lowley, although in his
sixty-fifth year, is still to be found at his post. He is a genial, sociable old
gentleman, and is so closely identified with the best part of Tipton's career,
that any history of the county, with his biography omitted, would be incomplete.
He owns a very nice residence in Tipton, opposite the Presbyterian Church.
