Charles L. Low

Mr. Low was born on the parental homestead, seven miles west and little north
of Express, on September 7, 1871, being the son of Leonard and Malinda V.
(Moss) Low. He attended the local public schools and for a time enjoyed the
advantages of the graded schools in Baker City, then worked at home, acquiring
a knowledge of farming and stock raising, of inestimable value to him in after
life. For about a decade he has been engaged in this dual occupation on his
own account, achieving a very enviable success. He now has a very well
improved place, supplied with all needed buildings, fences and other
equipments and stocked with quite a herd of cattle and some horses. His energy
and good judgement, coupled with an intimate knowledge of his business, have
enabled him to win success in his calling, and his integrity and many other
good qualities as a man have gained him the confidence and good will of those
who know him.

On August 17, 1898, in Baker county, Oregon, our subject married Miss Lyda,
daughter of William and Ann C. Stewart, of Marshalltown, Iowa, and to their
union has been born one child, Frederick C.

Mr. Low's father was a very early pioneer of Oregon, having emigrated from the
state of Maine in 1859. Eighteen hundred and sixty-two is the date of his
location in Baker county, and here his home was until May 20, 1893, when he
passed away to the great beyond. Our subject's mother is living in Baker City
at present.
