r- OBITUARY. Joseph Samuel Lower was the son e of Rev. William and Catherine Mumma Lower, and the grandson of Same uel Lower, after whom he was named. He was born in Tuscarawas counit ty, Ohio, October 2, TB4l. He departed this life Friday afternoon, Decernr ber 10, 1015, at the hour of 1:45, aged 72 years, 2 months and 8 days. The parents of the deceased were a frugal and industrious people, and wehe religiously inclined, his father being a r , minister. The father and mother, together cleared three different farms, d and their lives have been one of progress and success. Joseph being t the fifth child, and the oldest son, his services were early enlisted in work about the fa/m and home. In about 1 1 • 1853 the family moved to Adams county, Ind., when young Joseph was i- in his ninth year. Belonging to a large family, the patrimony he received from the home was meager, but by industrial habits, economy, and . frugality, he gathered honestly, and conserved sufficient to place them in fair and easy circumstances. Mr. '■ Lower was liberal in his assistance '■ to religious and charitable enterprises. A number of churches and / church enterprises, in various parts i- of the county, have received of his benefactions. Even in the far west, Mr. Lower has responded liberally to ; calls that he considered worthy from needy churches. To the splendid United Brethren parsonage of thi.s city, Mr. Lower gave very liberally, 1 and in the erection of the same took a large part of the burden upon him- * self in order to see the enterprise a s success, and to a large extent, the present building stands as a raonu f ment to his faithful and untiring efi forts. Having been raised in a religious home, his father being a minis- | ter, and the mother a devout woman. l he early learned to respect the Lord. and all that was sacred. Thus he became religiuosly inclined at an early age, and accordingly in a meeting held in the old log church at Pleasant Vai 1 ley, under the ministry of Rev. J. W. Waggncr, he accepted Christ and was converted at the age of twenty-five, ■ and united with the Church of the i United Brethren in Christ, and re- ; mained faithful and loyal to the church of his choice and to his Christ for forty-seven years, and up to the - time of his death. He was a member , of the United Brethren church at the time of his death. Mr. Lower had ben ailing since August 3. He was very patient during his sickness, having his faith firmly fixed on the 1 Christ who had been his best friend all through his life, and in the few ' last hours of his life he made expression that “The Lord was very near ' him.” Mr. Lower was very regular in attendance at the church services, and during his sickness he longed to be in the services at God's house, and made the following remark to his pastor: “If I could only come and sit down in a corner of the church . during the service it would be a great feast to me, and would give me untold joy and satisfaction.” Mr. Lower’s home was ■ always open for a minister, and a minister was always welcomed across the threshold of this 1 home. For a number of years his 1 home was a mid-way stopping place 1 between appointments of the Decatur charge, and was a regular stopping ■ place for ministers. No weather was ! too cold nor no night too dark or - stormy for Mr. Lower to assist a pasI tor to his appointments, or to other ■ places to which he desired to go in ■ the work of the Lord. The pastors always found him a ready and reliable help to them in their work. He was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca J. Congleton in 1867. To this union were born three children, all of which ahe still living: Mrs. Fred LinTi, Decatur, Lud; Mr. W. A. Lower, Decatur, Ind., and Homer D. Lower, of Warren, Ind. The deceased is survived by the wid1 ow and the three children named above, and one sister and two Jafothers. four sisters and two brothers ' having preceded him in death. Mr. Lower was one of the best known farmers in Adams county, and leaves | . a very large host of friends in the • county and elsewhere. A large num- . ber of the ministers of his church, , throughout the northern half of Indiana were the closest friends to Mr. . Lower. He stands as one of the re- . liable laymen of the conference of his own church. The deceased will be greatly missed in the church circles of his own church, and among ( the large number of friends who, dur- ( Ing bls' life, learned to love him, as well as about his own home fireside.
