Charlotte Observer, May 12, 1914
MRS. H. D. STOWE DEAD

Respected Lady of Charlotte Died at Ripe Old Age This Morning.

Within the half-hour after midnight last night, Mrs. H. D. Stowe died at her 
home, 308 West Eleventh street.  She was in her eightieth year and died after 
an illness of several months, through a complication of apoplexy and with the 
natureal feebleness of age.  The arrangements for the funeral had not been made 
early this morning, on account of the fact that relatives in texas, Alabama, 
Atlanta and Tennessee are expected to attend.  The funeral may be delayed until 
as late as Thursday.

Mrs. Stowe was a woman of energetic nature until the weight of years piled 
their handicap upon her shoulders.  She was the daughter of the late Larkin 
Stowe of Gaston County, marrying her own maiden name by unique coincidence.  
The late Capt. H. D. Stowe, her husband, has been dead for a number of years.  
The deceased lived with her daughter, Miss Lizzie Stowe.  The only other child 
born to her was Mr. Samuel T. Stowe, Mecklenburg County engineer.  Mrs. Stowe 
was formerly a member of the old Steele Creek Presbyterian Church, and she will 
be buried in the graveyard of that church.

Although of a small immediate family, the deceased had many relatives in both 
Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties.  She was an aunt of Mr. Charles P. Moody and 
Mrs. Ferrie Chapman of Charlotte, a sister of Col. Jasper Stowe and Col. W. I. 
Stowe of Gaston, and a relative of Mr. W. W. Ward and Mr. M. P. Pegram, Sr., of 
Charlotte.

Mrs. Stowe lived many of her last years in this city and had formed a wide 
circle of friends in the section of the city around the Tenth Avenue 
Presbyterian church, where her active Chruch relations existed.  She was well 
beloved and highly respected by her acquaintances.
