In Memoriam.
Lowman, Abraham—The son of George S. and Rosanna Lowman, was born in Indiana Co., Pa., in 1835. His parents instilled into his mind the saving truths of our holy religion, and were blessed by the evidence their son gave of a change of heart. He made a profession of his faith in his sixteenth year, and joined the Associate Reformed Congregation at Jacksonville, Pa., under the pastoral care of Rev. M. H. Wilson. In 1854 he determined to devote his life to the ministry, and entered the Theological Seminary of the First Associate Reformed Synod, where he finished a full course of studies. In the Spring of 1857, he was licensed by the Presbytery of Westmoreland. In the Spring of 1858, he received a call from the Associate Reformed Congregation at Brookville, Pa., which was accepted, and he was preparing to enter upon the active duties of his calling, when he was seized with inflammation of the bowels, and died after a short illness, at Brookeville, Pa., Nov. 27, 1858.
Arrangements had been made for his installation at the time of his death. He was married, Aug. 11, 1858, to Miss Mary Phillips.
