WILLIAM LOWE, farmer on sec. 32 and 33, Green Tp., was born in Ocford Co., 
England, June 3, 1828.  His 

parents, George and Elizabeth (Athaway) Lowe, lived and died in their native

the age of 15, when he went to 

London, and there was employed as gardener by a Mr. Anderson, where he 
remained three years.
