Thomas Lowery, a widely-known citizen of Norfolk, died suddenly yesterday 
afternoon at the Mecklenburg Springs, Va., where he had gone to recuperate 
after an attack of pneumonia. He was accompanied by his daughter, Miss Susie 
Lowery. The immediate cause of his demise was heart failure. The deceased was 
an attaché of the Norfolk Custom House, and had been for many years. He was a 
very prominent Republican and was for a long period the official leader of that 
party in Norfolk. He was a Confederate veteran, having been one of the youngest 
soldiers in the War Between the States, serving in Mahone’s Brigade as a 
drummer boy at 16 years of age. He was highly esteemed in Norfolk and 
throughout Tidewater Virginia, having many warm friends, to whom his death will 
come as a personal loss. He was in the 63rd year of his age and is survived by 
the following children: John E. Lowery, Thomas Lowery, Jr., Riddick McI., 
Lowery, Miss Susie Lowery and Miss Lottie G. Lowery. John E. Lowery, his son, 
left last night for Mecklenburg to accompany the remains here. They arrive this 
evening.
