Obituary:
LOWRY PASSED AWAY, LEAVING FOUR BEHIND
MARTIN R. LOWRY, CIVIL WAR VETERAN,-PASSED TO HIS REWARD • WAS AGED 87 YEARS
Mart Lowry, one of the oldest and most faithful citizens, that Taylor County, as well as Bedford, ever knew, passed away Sunday. He was an old gentleman of high respect, life
long. honesty and public trust. He will long be remembered by his host of friends, who are grieved at his demise. His obituary follows:
Martin R. Lowry was born in Indiana, May 10, 1844, and departed, this life October 4, 1931, at the ripe age of 87 years, 7 months and 10 days. His boyhood was spent near Woodhull, Ill., where he grew to young manhood, and here he was married on Dec. 20, 1868, to Amanda Templeton. To this union two sons were born. One died in infancy. The other, Alva N. Lowry, died at about 33 years of age. Mrs. Lowry died January 10, 1903. In 1909 Mr. Lowry joined the Methodist Church under the pastorate of Rev. W.M. Dudley. Since that time he has been a faithful attendant at church services. Only a few weeks ago he came into town from his nephew's home where he was staying at that time, that he might attend church, remaining over Sunday for that purpose. He was always friendly in disposition and made a large number of friends who will miss him from his accustomed place in church and town. In August of 1862, Mr. Lowry enlisted in the 112th Illinois Infantry in Company D. This regiment was a mounted regiment. The regiment moved quickly after its organization into Kentucky and then into Tennessee. As they moved toward Knoxville they met with stubborn resistance. After they had occupied Knoxville it was necessary to fortify the city. The 112th was designated to hold the enemy which was under the command of Gen. Longstreet, until entrenchments could be thrown up and certain fortificationg of the city completed. It was in this engagement, Nov. 18, 1863, that Mr. Lowry was shot through the shoulder and severely wounded. He was sent to the hospital and so far as we are able to learn was not able for further service. He was honorably discharged for disability in July, 1864. Funeral services were held Oct.6, at the Methodise Church, and burial was in Fairview Cemetery were his wife is buried.
