The Wellington Leader March 16, 1978
Mrs. J.M. (Lillie) Stowell, a church and civic worker here for many years, died in a Lewisville hospital at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 10.
Mrs. Stowell was born in Dallas August 22, 1889, and grew up in Collin County, in the McKinney and Melissa area. She and Mr. Stowell were married July 10, 1910 in Collin County, and afterwards moved to Crowell. Later they lived at Chillicothe, then at Healdton, Oklahoma, during its oil boom days, and at Wilson, Okla. They moved to Wellington in 1914, when Mr. Stowell bought half-interest in the Rock Lowry Barber Shop. Except for a short time at Plainview and Childress, she lived here the 60 years until she moved to Ft. Worth in 1974. Twice, Mrs. Stowell owned businesses. At Crowell she operated a milinary shop, and for a time in Wellington she owned a florist business. Most of her time, however, was given over to civic and club work and to First Baptist Church, to which she belonged. She was a charter member of the Belles Lettres Club and was one of those who helped to organize the Wellington Garden Club. She took an active part in its promotion of cemetery projects and flower shows. Mrs. Stowell is survived by a daughter and two sons, Mrs. Frances Barton of Ft. Worth, Ralph Stowell of Hurst and Lawrence Stowell of Vero Beach, Fla. There are six grandchildren. Mr. Stowell preceded her in death April 19, 1969.
