Harvey Lowell, who experienced pioneer life in Illinois and Michigan, and
in Sauk, La Crosse and Barron counties, in this state, was born in New York
State, of an old American family. He came to Illinois as a young man and
there married Sarah Brandon, who was born in that state, descended, like
himself, from a long list of sturdy American ancestry. In the forties he
moved to a farm in Jackson County, Michigan, from where, in the fifties, he
came to Baraboo, in Sauk County, this state. His next location was in La
Crosse County, this state. Then in the late seventies, he and his wife came
to Sumner Township, this county, and here spent the remainder of their
lives. They were most worthy and God-fearing people, whose chief thought,
next to their duty to their Creator and their fellowman, was the welfare of
their children. Four of the sons, Eugene Silas, Charles William, Nelson and
Albert Lowell, were Civil War veterans and became prominent and influential
men in Barron County, and several representatives of the family make the
county their permanent home. Harvey Lowell died Jan. 7, 1896, at the age of
about 84 years. His wife died in October, 1908, at about the same age.
