Lowe, Charles Carroll, retired farmer, Lake City, is a native of the State
of Maine, where he was born November 20, 1832. He is the son of Ivory and
Fannie (Colcord) Lowe, natives of the same state, of English extraction,
and the former a soldier in the war of 1812. They reared a family of
fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters, of whom our subject was
the sixth son and twelfth child. He was reared on the farm with common
school advantages till the age of nineteen, when the family (for
educational facilities) removed to Waterville in the same state, where he
entered the Waterville Academy, now the Coburn Institute. Her he pursued a
preparatory course three years, after which he entered the Colby
University in the same city, from which he graduated with the class of
1856, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts, and subsequently (1860)
the degree of master of arts. In the fall of 1856 he came to Minnesota,
and immediately located in Gillford township, pre-empting the N.E. 1/4 of
section 8, where he continued to reside up till April, 1882, when he
removed to his pleasant and substantial home on Prairie, between Walnut
and Doughty streets, Lake City. During his many years' residence in
Gillford, Mr. Lowe was almost continuously called to positions of official
trust-positions his education, good judgment and executive ability
eminently fitted him for. The official records of the town show him to
have been town clerk, assessor, justice of the peace, and chairman of the
board of supervisors, as well as to have been identified with the
educational interest of the township. He was married at Rushford, New
York, March 18, 1872, to Miss Julia Hellen McCall, of that place. Their
only child, Herbert, was born in this county in July, 1879. They also have
an adopted daughter, aged twelve years. Mr. Lowe is a member of the
Masonic fraternity of this city, and an active business gentleman.
