Albert Lowell, veteran of the Civil War, one of the earliest pioneers of
Sumner Township, and at one time keeper of a hotel on the old village site
of Sumner, was born in Illinois, son of Harvey and Sarah (Randolph) Lowell.
He came west as a young man, and married Margaret Gorman, a native of Sauk
County, this state. He served in the Civil War as a private in Co. D,
Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He came to Barron County in the
seventies, and located in Sumner Township, where he homesteaded wild land
and built a log cabin. He subsequently farmed in different parts of the
township and at one time, as noted, kept a hotel in the old town of Sumner.
Later he moved to Canton where he died at the age of sixty-three, and his
wife is still living with her son, Frank. In the family there were six
children: Herman, Frank, Clara, Sadie, Walter and Laura.
