The Lucy and William Lowe, Sr. farm was located on a road that to this day is referred to as the Bailey Road. Their farmhouse was located directly across the road from the Bailey family farmhouse. William Lowe and William Bailey are shown as owners of these farms on McClellan's 1856 Map of Windham County, Vermont. The Lowe family lost three children while living on the farm. William Jr. was lost to "lung disease" in 1861, and Anna L, & Maryette were lost to diphtheria during the 1863 epidemic. Their son Leroy was born in Somerset after the epidemic (1864). The Bailey's living across the road lost three of their five children to diphtheria during the 1863 epidemic (William C. Jr., Amasa, & Paula). As a result of the epidemic, the Lowe family left Somerset sometime after 1864. The 1870 census shows them living in White Creek, New York with their five-year-old son Leroy Lowe. The F. W. Beers 1869 Atlas of Windham County, Vermont shows the former William Lowe Farm occupied by M. Curtis. The Lowe's eventually returned to Vermont. William Lowe, Sr. passed away in In Jacksonville, Vermont and Lucy Lowe passed away in Wilmington, Vermont. Leroy Lowe passed away in Brattleboro, Vermont, where he was hospitalized.
