TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, August 11, 1883, p. 7, c. 5

LOWERY.—Died, the 20th inst., at our residence in Starrville, Mrs. 
Meda Lowery, wife of J. T. Lowery. For several months she had 
suffered intensely, but was willing to do or suffer the Master's 
will. She was a consistent Christian, a devoted wife and mother, 
a true and faithful friend. Her triumph was complete over the 
last enemy. "Going home to rest." How often she requested the song: 
"Going home to-morrow," and the hymn: "Asleep in Jesus." She 
would repeat the lines, and seemed to realize in a high degree 
the sentiment. She leaves her husband and two daughters to mourn 
her loss. May God help them to follow her as she followed Christ. 
Her friends will miss her kind words and tender sympathies. 
Earth is poorer, heaven richer, now she has left us; yet we know 
she is in the paradise of God with her loved ones, and bow 
submissively to the divine will, believing we will meet again 
where pain and sorrow can never reach us.
