FARMER TAKES OWN LIFE

R.H. Lowe Was to Have Begun 30 Day Jail Sentence Soon

R.H. Lowe, middle aged farmer, who lived about three miles north of 
Cement, took his life with carbolic acid in an Anadarko rooming house 
Wednesday morning. He was convicted last year on a whiskey charge and 
was to have begun serving a thirty-one day jail sentence soon.

Ella Lowe, wife of the deceased, called on Judge C. Ross Hume Tuesday 
afternoon and a property settlement had been drawn up whereby she and 
her children were to receive the Lowe property, allowing him $300 in 
cash. Lowe went to the Star rooms across the tracks on Sixth Street 
Tuesday night. Wednesday morning the officers were called to get his 
body. It is thought that despondency over the breaking up of the 
family and the fact that the jail sentence stared him in the face 
caused him to take his life.

Officials had been notified to be on the lookout for him but had 
failed due to the fact that he had procured a room across the tracks. 
Lowe is survived by his wife and three sons, the oldest of the 
children being 20 and the youngest 7.

The body was turned over to Farmer & Grimmett, funeral directors, and 
was taken to Cement where funeral services were held at the family 
home Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. E.E. Davidson, pastor of 
the Anadarko Christian Church.
