GEORGE W. LOWE was born in Guilford County, N. C., July 4, 1832, and is the 
fifth of seven children born to Absalom and Sarah (Cobble) Lowe, natives of North
Carolina and of German extraction.  In 1832, while George W. was yet an infant, the
family came to Hendricks County, this State, remained a year, and then came to this
township, purchased a farm, developed it from the wilderness, and here the father 
died in July, 1877, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church;  his widow, now
eighty-three years of age, still survives.  On this farm George W. Lowe was reared 
until eighteen years old, when he entered upon an apprenticeship of three years at
carpentering.  June 20, 1858, he married Sarah J., daughter of John Simpson, a native
of Kentucky;  and now the mother of three children--William W., Anderson and Noel.
In politics, Mr. Lowe is a Democrat, and Assessor of Madison Township, having
been elected for four years.  He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and his son William is now a teacher. The home farm contains 161 acres,
and is well stocked and improved.
