PRISCILLA JANE LOWRY

  Priscilla Jane Lowry, one and a half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack 
Lowry of Coal Run, was found dead in her crib about one o'clock Wednesday 
afternoon.  The child had been put to bed the night before apparently as well as 
usual.  She was in the habit of sleeping long.
  A post mortem by a Salisbury physician at the request of Dr. A. M. Uphouse, 
county coroner, revealed that there was an acute infection in the small bowel.  
Further laboratory tests of bowel tissue are being made to determine the nature 
of the infection.
  Besides her parents, a small brother, Jack Marshall, survives.
  Funeral services will be held at the Lowry home, Friday at 2 p.m., with the 
Rev. H. K. Hilner officiating.  Burial will be made in Meyersdale Union Cemetery 
under the direction of Stanley Thomas, Salisbury mortician.
