After a lingering illness that lasted for many months, the poor, tired spirit of our good friend and fellow-townsman, Mr. Walter B. Lowrey, Sr., succumbed to the inevitable early Tuesday morning and winged its flight Heavenward, for in our mind, knowing Walter Lowrey since early boyhood and knowing the life he led, we know that Heaven was his destination. He led a good, clean life always, was never known to speak ill of his fellow-man, always anxious to do all the good he could in this life, an exemplary husband and father, law abiding citizen, Christian gentleman, none knew him but to admire and praise his upright character and sturdy manhood. He will indeed be missed by his large circle of friends throughout this section.
The funeral took place at 5:30 Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted at the family home by Rev. J. H. E. Willmann, his late pastor. It was largely attended and there were many beautiful floral offerings, attesting the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow-men. [Interment in Weimar Masonic Cemetery]
If we are not mistaken, he was born and raised in this section or community. The writer knew him from the time he was quite a young boy, and he filled various positions of trust during his life-time. For many years he was carrier of mail on old Rural Route No. 4. and among the patrons along he was greatly beloved. A few years ago he was retired by the postoffice department, and since that time he had no regular occupation. However, ill health beset him soon after his retirement, so he was really unable to do much in the way of work.
Walter Lowrey was one of the cleanest, steadiest, best men we ever knew. He was strictly honest, a quiet, lawabiding citizen, a devoted husband and father....
He is survived by his widow, three sons, Wiley of Hillsboro, Walter B. and Kent of Houston, and several grandchildren, to whom our heartfelt sympathy is extended.
