Young Curd Lowry, County Clerk. Curd Lowry, the present county clerk of Jessamine county, is the third son of the late Judge Melvin T. Lowry, who was county and circuit clerk for twelve years prior to his death, in 1887. He secured the office in opposition to Robt. S. Perry, who had held it for sixteen years and his race in this respect was phenomenal. He was born November 19, 1862, at the home of his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Harrison Daniels. He was for two terms deputy clerk under L. D. Baldwin. In 1887 he moved to Kansas City where he remained two years and then returned to a position in the First National Bank. His great-grandfather on his mother's side was John Daniels, who settled in Fayette county in 1788 and married a sister of Col. John Price, his paternal grandfather settled in Jessamine county long before its organization. He comes of distinguished parentage and lineage and his popularity is the result of his kindly heart and gentlemanly manner.
