	C.W. LOWE, who is associated with his son, H.C. Lowe, in the livery 
and undertaking business, at Rochester, was born at North Shapley, Me., in 
1855, and is the oldest of the family of six children born to his parents, 
who were John and Hannah (Hargraves) Lowe.  The father was also born in Maine 
and died at North Shapley at the age of 74 years.  During his entire active 
life he was a spinner in a mill.
	C.W. Lowe left school at the age of eleven years to become a worker 
in a textile mill, where he continued until 18 years old.  He then spent one
summer in Boston, after which he located at Milton Mills, N.H., later moving 
to Union, where he bought a marble shop, still later entering a woolen mill 
at Springvale.  He remained there as carpenter for 18 months and then came to
Rochester, where he was car inspector for two years.  In 1904 he embarked in 
the livery business and in 1911 his son, H.C. Lowe, went into the undertaking 
business, and the two lines have since been carried on in partnership.
	C.W. Lowe married Miss Adelia Chamberlain, and they have one son, 
H.C. Lowe.  He was born and attended school at Milton Mills, N.H., later 
taking a business course at Dover.  His first employment was in a railroad 
freight house.  In preparation for the undertaking business he attended the 
Boston embalming school, but prior to that had worked for seven years with a 
local undertaker.  He married Miss Eva Webber and they have two children:  
Robert and Elizabeth.  C.W. Lowe and son are identified with the republican 
party politically and fraternally with the Odd Fellows, and the younger 
member of the firm belongs also to the Grange, the Red Men and to the 
American Mechanics.  As reliable business men and excellent citizens they 
stand high in public regard.
