Willard W. Lowe died suddenly Saturday
evening, July 27 at the University Hospital in Iowa City at the age of 84
years, eight months and ten days.
Mr. Lowe had undergone surgery July 17, and
was improving nicely. He had planned to
return to his home at Brazil Monday, but suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage
Saturday evening, with death resulting.
Mr. Lowe was well known, and liked in the
community, and relatives and friends were shocked at his passing.
He was born Nov. 17, 1872. He and Mrs. Lowe celebrated their 64th
wedding anniversary July 2. They had
started housekeeping in the same home in which they lived at the time of his
death. He was active as a miner in his
earlier years, and for 30 years before his retirement, operated his own mine.
Mr. Lowe was married to Elizabeth Stearns
July 2, 1893. She survives, along with
five sons, Jesse Lowe of Brazil, Roy Lowe of Centerville, Ray Lowe, Pontiac,
Mich.; Wilford Lowe of Ft. Madison; two daughters, Mrs. Golden Moore of
Carlisle, Iowa, and Mrs. Janet Palmer, Mt. Carmel, Pa.; 12 grandchildren; 21 great
grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Ruth Myers, Webster, Wis.; and Mrs. Neela Law,
Wheaton, Ill.; three brothers, Charles Lowe, Centerville; Ed Lowe, Cincinnati;
and a twin brother, Millard Lowe of Waterloo; and nieces and nephews. Four children preceded him in death, dying in
infancy.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2
p.m. at the Methodist Church in Brazil. The body will be at the Swanson Funeral
Chapel in Mystic.
