Phillips County Review--Phillipsburg, KS--June 28, 1945
Austin Franklin Low was born at Mount Ayr, Iowa, March 22, 1874, and departed this life on the morning of June 20, at his home in the northwest part of Kirwin, Kansas.
When a small boy he came with his parents to Rooks county, Kansas, where his father filed on a timber claim seven miles north of Stockton. It was here that Mr. Low spent the days of his boyhood and early manhood, here he attended country school at Mt. Lebanon, and in company with his brother, Walter, spent his summers herding their father's cattle over the wide and verdant prairies.
Austin, as he was familiarly known, was the tenth child of the family of 11, six brothers and five sisters; all having passed to the Great Beyond but one sister, Mrs. Hattie Muir and one brother, Nicholas Low, both of Stockton, Kansas.
On Wednesday, July 17, 1901, he was united in marriage just at the setting of the sun at Glade, Kansas, to Minnie L. Sherwood of Kirwin, Kansas. He bought a home one mile south of the Solomon River near her parents, where they lived for 34 years.
On April 1, 1935, they moved to Kirwin where they have lived since. Austin loved to go to Sunday school and church and was a faithful attendant until sickness came into his home. He was of a jolly nature and made friends wherever he went until about a year ago he overdone his body and mind and was never able to regain his strength.
He was stricken on the morning of June 7 with a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. He loved singing; and nothing leased him better than to do something for his neighbor.
He leaves to mourn his going from this life, his devoted wife, one sister, Mrs. Hattie Muir and one brother, Nicholas, both of Stockton. Besides there are a host of relatives and close friends to whom he has endeared himself, and who will miss him in the journey of this life.
Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church in Kirwin on June 23 at 5 o'clock, and burial in the Kirwin cemetery.
