Archivist, billcook44@aol.com *********************************************************************** Tahlequah Herald June 21, 1905 Switchley Lowrey, a full-blood Cherokee, perhaps the oldest Indian in the five nations , died at his home on Lowery Prairie, 15 miles north of Tahlequah. He was one of the original emigrants from the southeastern states but his full sojourn in the west is not exactly known. He has probably been here 100 years. Several generations have sprung from him, who lived in different parts of the nation, and are and have been good citizens, Mr. Lowery had a good name among his neighbors and everywhere he was known, having the respect and confidence of all. Typed just as found in the paper. ************************************************************************ copyright 2003 USGenweb http://www.usgwarchives.net ************************************************************************
