Judge Samuel Lowrie Dead
He passed Away After Months of Illness and Pain

Judge Samuel Lowrie, of Beresford, Florida, died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, after an illness of several months.

Judge Lowrie was a native of this county. He was educated at Davidson College and Emory and Henry, Virginia. He studied law with Judge Pearson; located to Charlotte for a short time, and moved to Texas in 1858, and engaged in the practice of law. He entered the Confederate army, 8th Texas Rangers, in 1861, and was with his command near Greensboro, N.C. in 1865, at the time of the surrender.

Judge Lowrie had three brothers, Patrick, James and Houston, all of whom gave their lives to the cause of the Confederacy. Mrs. Dr. J.B. Alexander, of this city, is the only surviving member of the family.

Judge Lowrie was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and was a man of sterling integrity, a devoted Christian and true patriot. He loved the south as his mother. He was probably the most influential man in Volusia county. His presence will be greatly missed in the councils of both Church and State, but his work is finished, and he has gone to receive his reward.
