On a picture I found of her as a little girl is a write-up: For the first 5 to 7 months after her mother died, Maud lived with her maternal grandparents, the Browning's. Her father left Maud in their care while he traveled back to Franklin, Idaho to make arrangements for them to move so they could be closer to Maud's paternal grandmother. During this same time period Grandpa Lowe had courted and married a childhood sweetheart. When Grandpa Lowe returned for Maud the Brownings had determined that Maud would be better off under their care and insisted that he leave Maud to be raised by them or at least stay in Ogden and continue working in a store owned by the Browning family. Grandpa Lowe had to take the Brownings to court to regain custody of Maud. What is sad about Maud's life after this incident is that Grandpa Lowe's new wife rejected Maud and so she was then placed in the home of Grandpa Lowe's mother who then raised and nurtured Maud. Maud had little contact with the Brownings other than an occasional trip to Ogden to visit and letters sent back and forth. Her life seems to be sad but Maud loved her father and her grandparents, both maternal and paternal.
I found a comment made by Betseylee Browning online that I added to my notes on 19 April 2020: A little background: Maud Arbarilla Lowe's mother died nine days after she was born. David and Charilla (her grandparents) took care of her for a while. Her father remarried about a year and half later to Adaline Lorinda Belnap and finally became guardian of his daughter, with a little struggle from the Brownings. They loved Maud very much.
