NY, die on 11 May 1912 in Hudson, Lenawee, MI of hemorrhage of ulcerated bowel. Burial on 14 May in Hudson Cemetery, Informant George Lowe of Hudson. from "Compendium of history and biography of Hillsdale County, Michigan", Elon G Reynolds, 1903 The elder son, Charles Y. Lowe, passed his childhood and youth in this state and after leaving school learned his trade as a miller with his father. He worked at this craft at the York Mills for a period of thirty years. At the end of that time he turned his attention to farming. Since he entered upon this industry he has steadily devoted his energies to it with a gratifying success and prosperity. His farm is one of the best cultivated and most valuable in the township, being well improved with comfortable buildings and other necessary appurtenances. On February 18, 1865, he was married to Miss Orcelia Rice, a daughter of Moses and Mary H. (Hill) Rice, who emigrated from New York state to Michigan in 1840, settling in Lenawee county, where they resided until the death of the father in 1847. Twenty years later the mother made her home with her daughters until her death in 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe have four children, Maud S., wife of Charles Brown, of Hudson; Algernon C, also a resident of Hudson, now engaged in the furniture and undertaking business in partnership with Mr. Brown; Minnie B., living at home, and Nellie R., wife of R. E. Bronson. In political affiliation Mr. Lowe is a Republican, but he is not active in the campaigns of his party and has never sought or desired public office. He was for many years a member of the order of Odd Fellows and also a Freemason. He and his wife are esteemed members of the Hudson Congregational church, as active in all its works of charity and benevolence, as they are in all undertakings for the general good and improvement of the community.
