Headline:  Ed. N. Lowrey, 60, Dies Wednesday
           Was Former Sheriff of Ionia County

Ed N. Lowrey, 60, a former Ionia county sheriff and well known here, died at 
his home at 332 north Jefferson street shortly after noon Wednesday.  
Despondency was believed to have caused him to take his own life.

Lowrey had been ill for some time, had spent four weeks at the hospital at Ann 
Arbor and had returned to his home here Saturday.  The body was discovered in 
the basement of the home by his wife; he had shot himself through the temple 
with a revolver.

Lowrey was born in Berlin township August 5, 1880.  He was married in January, 
1911 to Frederika Dingman.  He was sheriff here for two terms up to 1918, was 
a guard at the Reformatory several years, and had lately been working at 
Ford’s in Detroit.

Surviving him are his wife; one daughter, Mrs. A. J. Kohler of Monroe; four 
brothers, Willard of Alberta, Canada, Carl of Saranac, Roy of Milan, and 
Harvey of Dearborn; one sister, Mrs. L. F. Hire of Pontiac.
