Funeral services for W.T. Lowe, who passed away Sunday morning May 31st, were held at the First Baptist Church by Rev. E.L. Moody, Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Mr. Lowe, who was 80 years old, had been in failing health for some time. He came to Donley county in September of 1919, and engaged in farming south of Clarendon the most of the 23 years that he had lived here.
Born in Ochata, Ark. in 1862, Mr. Lowe was left an orphan at a very tender age. His father was killed in action during the Civil War and was never heard from. His mother died soon afterward, leaving him to face the world while just a baby. He came to Texas in 1892, making his home in Erath County until 1919. He married Miss Annie Langley in 1882. To this union were born eleven children, nine of whom are still living.
While in early life, Mr. Lowe joined the Baptist church, and had remained a devoted christian throughout his long life. During his life time, at different places, he had served the Baptist church as deacon more than fifty years. While living in Erath county he served as county commissioner five terms.
Mr. Lowe lived a long and useful life, and the path that he trod was strewn with roses of love, friendship and devotion. He raised a large family, and he lived to see them take their places in the world as men and women, respected and loved by all who knew them. Mr. Lowe's friends were legion, and as he lived from day to day, he spread a path of sunshine that will long remain in the hearts of those who knew him best. The indelible marks of righteousness that he left behind will nourish and enrich the lives of those whose memory holds him dear. He did not reach the height of fame, nor crowned with kingly riches, but he did leave behind a priceless humble prayer - and then immortality.
Survivors include his wife and nine children. The daughters are Mrs. J.D. Farrar of Melrose, N. Mex.; Mrs. W.O. Bower of Port Arthur; Mrs. Hubert Brown of Clayton, N. Mex.; Mrs. T.D. Thomason of Van Nuys, Calif.; Mrs. Roy Broadway of Wichita Falls. The sons are Sam and Walter Lowe of Clarendon; Jesse Lowe of Texarkana, Ark.; Fred Lowe of New Orleans, La. Also 23 grand children and 13 great grandchildren. All of his children were present for the funeral except Mrs. Thomason and Jesse Lowe.
Pallbearers were Haskell Hay, Van Kennedy, Neal Bogard, Nolie Simmons, O.C. Watson, Kirk Doshier.
Flower girls were Mrs. Haskell Hay, Mrs. Nolie Simmons, Mrs. Bill Brumley, Mrs. Bob Head, Mrs. Carl Peabody, Mrs. Donald Ballew.
Buntin Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Interment was in Citizens Cemetery.
